Multi-Axis
Additional axes may be added to plots. Plottables are displayed using the coordinate system of the primary axes by default, but any plottable can be displayed using any X and Y axis.
ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();
// plottables use the standard X and Y axes by default
var sig1 = myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(51, mult: 0.01));
sig1.Axes.XAxis = myPlot.XAxis; // standard X axis
sig1.Axes.YAxis = myPlot.YAxis; // standard Y axis
myPlot.YAxis.Label.Text = "Primary Y Axis";
// create a second axis and add it to the plot
ScottPlot.Axis.StandardAxes.LeftAxis yAxis2 = new();
myPlot.YAxes.Add(yAxis2);
// add a new plottable and tell it to use the custom Y axis
var sig2 = myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(51, mult: 100));
sig2.Axes.XAxis = myPlot.XAxis; // standard X axis
sig2.Axes.YAxis = yAxis2; // custom Y axis
yAxis2.Label.Text = "Secondary Y Axis";
myPlot.SavePng("multi-axis.png");
