        "\n# Plots with different scales\n\nTwo plots on the same Axes with different left and right scales.\n\nThe trick is to use *two different Axes* that share the same *x* axis.\nYou can use separate `matplotlib.ticker` formatters and locators as\ndesired since the two Axes are independent.\n\nSuch Axes are generated by calling the `.Axes.twinx` method. Likewise,\n`.Axes.twiny` is available to generate Axes that share a *y* axis but\nhave different top and bottom scales.\n\nSee also :doc:`/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/secondary_axis` for the case\nwhere the two scales are not independent, but related (e.g., the same quantity\nin two different units).\n"
