Hi,
I have some problem I can't belief nobody else had so far, but my search was fruitless.
The problem is that I want to have 2 or more x axis that are not connected to each other in any mathematical way. They show completely different ranges of the same unit. There is only one y axis but as this represents the depth of taken samples it should stay the y for better understanding the graph. Otherwise I could just change the y and x axis.
Can someone give me a hint how I can get a graph in the shape like the one below only turned 90?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure if this would be exactly what you are looking for, but could you plot the Y data with one of the sets of X data, and then go to Graph > New Layer(Axes) > Top-X(Linked Y Scale and Dimension). You could then double click on the new axis to open the Axis Dialog, and go to the Scale tab, and set it to cover the range of your second set of X data.

Hey,
thanks for your hint, I tried it out but unfortunately that was not exactly what I was looking for. I will try some other things.And if I then still can't manage to do it I will come back for help.

Hello,
Your original graph looks like a double-Y plot.
Here is what I think you can do:
Suppose you have XYXY data.
You can first highlight all data and plot Double-Y plot.
Then click Layer 1 icon to make layer 1 active.
Choose Graph: Exchange X-Y Axis menu.
Then click Layer 2 icon to make layer 2 active.
Choose Graph: Exchange X-Y Axis menu.
It will turn the graph 90 degrees.
Then double click in graph to open Plot Details dialog.
With Layer2 level selected on left panel, go to Linked Axis Scale tab.
Set X Axis Link to be None.
Set Y Axis Link to be Straight (1 to 1)
Click OK.
The Y axis will be be exactly the same.
Then with Layer 2 active, click Rescale to show all button or Ctrl+R.
Then with Layer 1 active, click Rescale to show all button or Ctrl+R.
Thanks, Snow Li

You are very welcome. Is there a name for such graph and is it popular in some field?
Thanks, Snow Li
