Multiple Axes

Right Axis

New plots have one axis on every side. Axes on the right and top are invisible by default. To use the right axis, make it visible, then tell a plottable to use it.

MultiAxis.cs

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

// plot data with very different scales
var sig1 = myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(mult: 0.01));
var sig2 = myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(mult: 100));

// tell each signal plot to use a different axis
sig1.Axes.YAxis = myPlot.Axes.Left;
sig2.Axes.YAxis = myPlot.Axes.Right;

// add additional styling options to each axis
myPlot.Axes.Left.Label.Text = "Left Axis";
myPlot.Axes.Right.Label.Text = "Right Axis";
myPlot.Axes.Left.Label.ForeColor = sig1.Color;
myPlot.Axes.Right.Label.ForeColor = sig2.Color;

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);

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.

MultiAxis.cs

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.Axes.Bottom; // standard X axis
sig1.Axes.YAxis = myPlot.Axes.Left; // standard Y axis
myPlot.Axes.Left.Label.Text = "Primary Y Axis";

// create a second axis and add it to the plot
var yAxis2 = myPlot.Axes.AddLeftAxis();

// 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.Axes.Bottom; // standard X axis
sig2.Axes.YAxis = yAxis2; // custom Y axis
yAxis2.LabelText = "Secondary Y Axis";

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);

Right Axis Only

The default Y axis is the one on the left of the plot, but the right Y axis may be used instead.

MultiAxis.cs

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

// add a plottable to the plot
var sig = myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin());

// configure the plottable to use the right Y axis
sig.Axes.YAxis = myPlot.Axes.Right;

// configure the grid to display ticks from the right Y axis
myPlot.Grid.YAxis = myPlot.Axes.Right;

// style the right axis as desired
myPlot.Axes.Right.Label.Text = "Hello, Right Axis";
myPlot.Axes.Right.Label.FontSize = 18;

// it is recommended to remove tick generators from unused axes
myPlot.Axes.Left.RemoveTickGenerator();

// pass in the custom axis when calling SetLimits()
myPlot.Axes.SetLimitsY(bottom: -2, top: 2, yAxis: myPlot.Axes.Right);

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);
