Gnuplot: Dual Y-Axis Setup Guide

The documents discuss how to plot multiple y-axes in gnuplot and customize axis properties like limits, scales, ratios and offsets. Topics include setting the y2tics command to make a secondary y-axis visible, using different y-axis scales for different datasets, and adjusting the aspect ratio between the x-axis and y-axis.

overlay several independent plots and put a unique offset to the
*y-axis* for each of them.

*Gnuplot* can have two different y-axes and two different x-axes. In
order to define a second *y-axis*, use the y2tics command; the first
parameter is the starting value at the bottom of the graph, and the
second is the interval between tics on the *axis*. What is offset in
*gnuplot*?

*gnuplot* allows you to use two different scales for each *axis*: there
are independent x and x2 scales for the x-axis, *y* and y2 scales for
the *y-axis*, etc. There's another syntax for defining the ranges for
each of the axes, which is necessary for using *more* than one scale at
a time.

other, as *gnuplot* will scale the one *axis* to include both curves. To
produce a *more* readable plot, You may refer each of the two curves to
different *Y* axes with the defintitions: set ylabel 'Displacement

*gnuplot*> set size ratio 2 In this case the *Y* *axis* length is two
times longer than the X *axis*. This ratio is independent of the values
of the X and *Y* axes. In order to set the scales so that the unit has
the same length on both the X and *Y* axes, give negative value for the
ratio.

The command set ytics nomirror tells *gnuplot* to use a different *axis*
on the right-hand side, rather than simply mirroring the left-hand *y*
-*axis*. The final plot command is similar to the ones we've seen
before, with the addition of the "*axis*" commands; these tell *gnuplot*
which set of axes to use for which curve. There's *more*…

How to plot multiple y-axes
[Link]
<[Link]

As andyras wrote, you can use the second y-axis if you only have two
datasets. In this case, you also need to to

|set ytics nomirror # remove the tickmarks of the left ayis on the right side
set y2tics # make the right y-axis 'visible'|
If you want to *plot* more than one dataset, I would suggest to use
|multiplot|. You can overlay several independent *plots* and put a
unique offset to the y-axis for each of them. However, you need to take
care that the number of y-tics and y-tick positions is the same.

*Plot*:

(I did not care about the key here, this still needs adjustment)

Code:

|set multiplot

set xrange[0:10]

# We need place to the left, so make the left margin 30% of screen
set lmargin screen 0.3

##### first plot

set ytics 0.4


set yrange[-1.2:1.2]

set ylabel "Voltage" textcolor rgb "red"

plot sin(x)

##### Second plot

set ytics 1
set yrange[-3:3]

set ytics offset -8, 0


set ylabel "Current" offset -8, 0 textcolor rgb "green"

plot 3*cos(x) linecolor 2

##### Third plot

set ytics 0.5


set yrange[-1.5:1.5]

set ytics offset -16, 0


set ylabel "Power" offset -16, 0 textcolor rgb "blue"
plot 3*sin(x)*cos(x) linecolor 3

unset multiplot|
