As you can see following pic.
There two X-axis, say X1 and X2, which have opposite positive direction.
The origin locates at (0,0).
I have two data sets, say (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) for iceberg and ship respectively.
The question is how to plot the two data sets on a single fig. as following.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bladilu#65292;

Yes, that is also the only alternative way I think. But then the question is the tick labels of the x-axis on the left side will be negative and it doesn't show the left arrow, neither.

Hi koey,

Another way is to use two layers adjacent to each other with a "shared" y axis" where you set the y to be same scale for both layers. See this graph gallery example:

That page then links to this tutorial:
