===========================
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.

twin1 = ax.twinx()
twin2 = ax.twinx()

# Offset the right spine of twin2.  The ticks and label have already been
# placed on the right by twinx above.
twin2.spines.right.set_position(("axes", 1.2))

p1, = ax.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2], "C0", label="Density")
p2, = twin1.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 3, 2], "C1", label="Temperature")
p3, = twin2.plot([0, 1, 2], [50, 30, 15], "C2", label="Velocity")

twin1.set(ylim=(0, 4), ylabel="Temperature")
twin2.set(ylim=(1, 65), ylabel="Velocity")
