Hi everybody,
I have a problem with a plot. I attach a figure to be easily understandable.
As you can see from the figure, I have in the same area a line and a bar plot. The problem is that y=0 for right y axis is different with respect to left y axis one. I want the two y=0 to be the same.
How can i do that?
Excuse me for my bad english, I'm italian 
Thanks in advance.
One way is to specify the axes manually, e.g. setting:
(with matyplotlib.pyplot importad as plt:)
plt.axis([200, 500, -600, 600])
...or whatever seems fitting for you, and do that on both of the y axes.
That should align them nicely.

Somehow, this doesn’t seem very satisfying. It is almost accidental. There has to be a better way to do this.

That really depends on what you want to do. For one single graph with
these specific values, it is quick and easy and hence very satisfying
*if that is what you need*. No need to go across the river for water.
But, Daniele came up with a different and more sturdy solution (that I
have used in scripts of my own too), which is to specify the axes as
max-of-the-data-plus-a-bit reflected about a centered zero axis.
This is not data specific, more reusable, but also takes longer to
write.

I solved the problem and I’m going to explain the solution I used,
it can be useful for someone.
y data for each series are contained into 2 different arrays, say y1
and y2.
The code is the sequent:
if max(y1) > max(y2):
y_max = max(y1)
else:
y_max = max(y2)
if min(y1) < min(y2):
y_min= min(y1)
else:
y_min = min(y2)
y_upper_limit = y_max+ y_max/10 # to leave some blank space
on the top
y_lower_limit = y_min + y_min/10 # to leave some blank
space on the bottom
Then, in your plot, you set ylim(y_lower_limit, y_upper_limit) and
that’s it.
This solution is good because it doesn't depend on the order of
magnitude of the processed data, while specifying axes manually can
give some problems for very different data sets.
I hope this message is correctly sent to the mailing list, the
procedure for answering a message is not so immediate in my opinion.
Then, I subscribed the mailing list, so from the following messages
(I have some other problems) I will use a different e-mail address.
Bye :)
