Hi,
is there a way to have one plot with two functions, one using some
scale, the other one a different scale and show for example one scale
on the left, the other scale on the right?
I want to plot an atomic potential (one scale) and the corresponding
wave functions (different scale) in the same plot. I tried to look
through all examples and search this list, but didn't find anything.
Thanks a lot,
Ondrej
Hi Ondrej,
nice to see you here

sure, twinx() is what you're looking for; here is a simple example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(0., np.e, 0.01)
y1 = np.exp(-x)
y2 = np.log(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax1.plot(x, y1)
ax1.set_ylabel('Y values for exp(-x)')
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax2.plot(x, y2, 'r')
ax2.set_xlim([0,np.e])
ax2.set_ylabel('Y values for ln(x)')
ax2.set_xlabel('Same X for both exp(-x) and ln(x)')
The values on X has to be of the same scale, tough, else the graph
would look really weird.
Cheers,

Look at pyplot.twinx() or pyplot.twiny()

Thanks a lot for the code. That worked. I was meeting some deadline,
so I forgot to reply that it worked.
Thanks Ryan and Jouni as well!
