[yt-users] Second y axis

[j s oishi]

Hi Libby,

This really isn't a yt issue. Matplotlib has a faq on this topic:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#multiple-y-axis-scales

I like Jae-Joon Lee's AxesGrid toolkit for more complex things where
you want two different lines with separate scales on the same plot:
