===========================
Plots with different scales
===========================

Two plots on the same axes with different left and right scales.

The trick is to use *two different axes* that share the same *x* axis.
You can use separate `matplotlib.ticker` formatters and locators as
desired since the two axes are independent.

Such axes are generated by calling the `.Axes.twinx` method. Likewise,
`.Axes.twiny` is available to generate axes that share a *y* axis but
have different top and bottom scales.

color = 'tab:red'
ax1.set_xlabel('time (s)')
ax1.set_ylabel('exp', color=color)
ax1.plot(t, data1, color=color)
ax1.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor=color)

ax2 = ax1.twinx()  # instantiate a second axes that shares the same x-axis

color = 'tab:blue'
ax2.set_ylabel('sin', color=color)  # we already handled the x-label with ax1
ax2.plot(t, data2, color=color)
ax2.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor=color)

fig.tight_layout()  # otherwise the right y-label is slightly clipped
plt.show()
