==================
Parasite axis demo
==================
This example demonstrates the use of parasite axis to plot multiple datasets
onto one single plot.
Notice how in this example, *par1* and *par2* are both obtained by calling
``twinx()``, which ties their x-limits with the host's x-axis. From there, each
of those two axis behave separately from each other: different datasets can be
plotted, and the y-limits are adjusted separately.
Note that this approach uses the `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes`'
`~mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.host_subplot` and
`mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines.Axes`. An alternative approach using the
`~mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes`'s
`~.mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.HostAxes` and
`~.mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.ParasiteAxes` is the
:doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes` example.
An alternative approach using the usual Matplotlib subplots is shown in
the :doc:`/gallery/ticks_and_spines/multiple_yaxis_with_spines` example.
