After quickly going through the mpl source (and in my experience), I think it is quite safe to assume that there is no master-slave relation among the shared axes. > One more, related question: is it possible/reasonable to share *both* > x and y axes?

I, personally, am more interested in implementing some form of a general interface (base class) for a set of axes, although I have no immediate plan. If I have a chance to work on this, I will try to adjust those to work with well your code.
