Thanks John, I think I almost have it, but not quite. Say the first dataset is in the range 2-4, and the second is in the range 1-3. At the moment, I am doing as you say, and what happens is that the x axis gets defined by the first plot, and given to the second with the sharex argument. However, this ends up giving the second plot a range of 2-4, so much of the data (from 1-2) is not shown. What I need is for the axes of _both_ plots to be expanded to the range 1-4.
