""" ================== 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.
