r""" =========================== Multiple y-axis with Spines =========================== Create multiple y axes with a shared x-axis. This is done by creating a `~.axes.Axes.twinx` Axes, turning all spines but the right one invisible and offset its position using `~.spines.Spine.set_position`. Note that this approach uses `matplotlib.axes.Axes` and their `~matplotlib.spines.Spine`\s. Alternative approaches using non-standard Axes are shown in the :doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes` and :doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes2` examples.
