Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pgfplots | Several y-Axis

[marcelvduarte]

Hello,

I would like to plot several y axis in the same pic, like 1 `x` axis and
3 or 4 y axis on the right (not only 2 in both y sides - right and left),
but I do not know how.

Anyone already done this type of plot?

Thanks,

Marcel.

Not until you requested that. An idea with an example from the pgfplots manual should clarify the principal.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[%
      area legend,
      axis x line*=bottom,
      axis y line*=left,
      domain=0:1,
      legend style={at={(0.03,0.97)},anchor=north west},
      legend cell align=left,
      axis on top,
      xmin=0,xmax=1,
      xlabel={x-axes label},
      ylabel={y-axes label},
      xlabel near ticks,
      ylabel near ticks
    ]
      \addplot[pattern=crosshatch dots,pattern color=blue,draw=blue,samples=500]{sqrt(x)} \closedcycle;
      \addplot[pattern=crosshatch,pattern color=blue!30!white,draw=blue!30!white]{x^2} \closedcycle;
      \addplot[red,line legend] coordinates {(0,0) (1,1)};
      \legend{$\sqrt x$,$x^2$,$x$}
    \end{axis}
    \begin{axis}[%
      xmin=0,xmax=1,ymin=0,ymax=10,
      ytick={0,5,10},
      axis x line=none,
      axis y line*=right,
      xlabel near ticks,
      ylabel near ticks,
      ylabel={2nd y-axes label}
    ]
    \end{axis}
    \begin{axis}[%
      at={(2cm,0)},
      xmin=0,xmax=1,ymin=0,ymax=100,
      ytick={0,10,...,100},
      axis x line=none,
      axis y line*=right,
      xlabel near ticks,
      ylabel near ticks,
      ylabel={3rd y-axes label}
    ]
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Note that the third and all further y-axis at the right hand side have to be shifted explicitly.
