Hi,
The code below should create a properly placed 2nd x-axis. You might need to
adjust the placement of the figure canvas to match into the window.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.parasite_axes import SubplotHost
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,8))
host = SubplotHost(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(host)
parx = host.twiny()
parx.axis["top"].set_visible(False)
offset = 0, -50
new_axisline = parx.get_grid_helper().new_fixed_axis
parx.axis["bottom"] = new_axisline(loc="bottom", axes=parx, offset=offset)
parx.axis["bottom"].label.set_visible(True)
hplt, = host.plot(np.random.rand(100))
p2, = parx.plot(np.linspace(0,20,100), np.random.rand(100)*5.0,
color='green')
plt.show()
There is also another example at:

Hope this helps.

Why Cloud-Based Security and Archiving Make Sense
Osterman Research conducted this study that outlines how and why cloud
computing security and archiving is rapidly being adopted across the IT
space for its ease of implementation, lower cost, and increased
reliability. Learn more. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51425301/
