""" ================== Parasite Axes demo ================== Create a parasite axes. Such axes would share the x scale with a host axes, but show a different scale in y direction. This approach uses `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.HostAxes` and `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.ParasiteAxes`. An alternative approach using standard Matplotlib subplots is shown in the :doc:`/gallery/ticks_and_spines/multiple_yaxis_with_spines` example. An alternative approach using :mod:`mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1` and :mod:`mpl_toolkits.axisartist` is found in the :doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes2` example.
