Greetings,
I am trying to plot 2 graphs in a log-log plot with one y axis oriented to the top (~0 at bottom and bigger numbers towards top) and the other y axis oriented to the bottom (~0 at top and bigger numbers towards the top) while the 2 y axes meet at ~zero. But I am not able to make the 2 axes meet at 0 i.e., they are not intersecting the x-axis (lower one) at the same value. Any suggestions?
More background: I have conductivity (x-axis) vs seebeck coeff (y-axis) data that needs to be plotted in a log-log plot. Some of the seebeck data points are negative so I separated the positive and negative data pairs and took the absolute value of the negative data points and plotted both data sets in a double y graph (see the excel file attached). But is there a way to make the 2 y axes intersect the x-axis (bottom one) at the same value?

Yes of course, that is why I said ~0 (near to zero). Realistically it can be, say, 0.01
So is it possible to make the 2 y axes intersect the x axis (bottom one) at 0.01?
It does not necessarily have to be a continuous double y graph even. Is there other ways to plot it?
Update: Solved it. If anybody else is having this issue, the trick is not to use the double y plot but simply use 'symmetrical log scale' option in standard x-y plot. It will plot your negative values in log scale |
