I've realized that using the ParasiteAxes from the mpl_toolkits should do exactly what I'm asking. However, I am having a problem with callbacks when the x and y limits change (try resizing the window). The following script shows that the callback for the second set of axes is not carried out. Is this a bug, or a limitation? Or something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
