I hope the code below gives you some idea.
def Tc(Tf): return (5./9.)*(Tf-32) ax1 = subplot(111) # y-axis in F ax2 = twinx() # y-axis in C def update_ax2(ax1): y1, y2 = ax1.get_ylim() ax2.set_ylim(Tc(y1), Tc(y2)) # automatically update ylim of ax2 when ylim of ax1 changes. ax1.callbacks.connect("ylim_changed", update_ax2) ax1.plot([78, 79, 79, 77]) -JJ On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 11:08 AM, musik <xi.xiaoxi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Exactly.
