[proFit-list] creating a third y-axis

[Dave]

Hi Jeremy,
	Ah, I see. Yeah, I still don’t know how to do 3 y axes on one graph. The kludge then would be to do two graphs, and hide X1 X2 and Y1, and line them up with the other graph. There might be a way to do it all in one graph on pro Fit, but I don’t know it.

Good luck! Let us know if there is, if the answer doesn’t come to this list.

Dave

I have had a few goes at doing this, but so far I never been able to get a y-axis positioned at an x- value greater the maximum x-value or less than the minimum x-value. I could extend the x-axis to beyond its current maximum and position the new y-axis along this new region, but I think that would not look so good. I’m sure there must be a simple way of doing this, but I am not figuring it out from the dialogs or the manual.
