{{{
fig,axs = plt.subplots(2,3)
for i,ax in enumerate(axs.flat):
ax.plot(time,data)
ymin,ymax = ax.get_ylim()
ax.set_ylim(ymin=ymin,ymax=ymin+2*(ymax-ymin))
labels = ax.get_yticklabels()
for l in labels:
if float(l.get_text()) > ymax:
l.set_visible(False)
ax2 = ax.twinx()
ymin,ymax = ax2.get_ylim()
ax2.set_ylim(ymin=ymax-2*(ymax-ymin),ymax=ymax)
labels = ax2.get_yticklabels()
for l in labels:
if float(l.get_text()) < ymin:
l.set_visible(False)
}}}
Some of this is inspired by http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/two_scales.html
and similar examples/applications.
Hope that helps,
Sterling
