""" ================== Parasite axis demo ================== This example demonstrates the use of parasite axis to plot multiple datasets onto one single plot. Notice how in this example, *par1* and *par2* are both obtained by calling ``twinx()``, which ties their x-limits with the host's x-axis. From there, each of those two axis behave separately from each other: different datasets can be plotted, and the y-limits are adjusted separately. This approach uses `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.host_subplot` and `mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines.Axes`. The standard and recommended approach is to use instead standard Matplotlib axes, as shown in the :doc:`/gallery/spines/multiple_yaxis_with_spines` example. An alternative approach using `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.HostAxes` and `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.ParasiteAxes` is shown in the :doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes` example.
