Hello,

I would like to create a simple but specific kind of plot for my protocol.

The data originates from protein chromatography and contains:
- the uv-absorption of substances/proteins within the solution - usally the Y-Axis,
- the volume that has gone throught the system - in my case the X-Axis,
- and fractioning of specific amounts of volume, starting at a specific moment

I can easily create a plot containing the first two rows of data. Now I would like to introduce a second X-Axis into the plot, preferably at the top or above the normal (first) X-Axis, showing the fractioning in respect to the first X-Axis, maybe drawling straight lines, creating columns that are called "FractionX".

I hope the description of what I would like to do is sufficient.

My question of course is: How do I add a second X-Axis which contains 2 rows of data.

The data looks like this by the way:

Column Y1 shows the start of the first fractioning in ml, 50.050, 50.060, et.
Column Y2 shows the fraction-name, F1, F2, etc.

Hope some one can give me a soltuion to this. :)

Thank you for the answer but the solution in the link does not help me.

To further explain what I need, here is a picture:



This image was made with paint where I copy-pasted one axis onto another.

Have yet to figure how to do that. Does anybody know?

Again to explain: The upper axis shows fractioning at specific ml-marks, starting around 30ml and going till 60ml, I want those marks to be named as TX to TXX and so on. Cant be that hard, can it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, this issue has been resolved by email.

Basically add topX layer (2nd layer). On Scale tab, set Major ticks from the column with x values. And then on Tick Labels tab, set Type to be Text from dataset and specify the column with "T.." texts.

Thanks, Snow
