===========================
Plots with different scales
===========================
Two plots on the same Axes with different left and right scales.
The trick is to use *two different Axes* that share the same *x* axis.
You can use separate `matplotlib.ticker` formatters and locators as
desired since the two Axes are independent.
Such Axes are generated by calling the `.Axes.twinx` method. Likewise,
`.Axes.twiny` is available to generate Axes that share a *y* axis but
have different top and bottom scales.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
# Create some mock data
t = np.arange(0.01, 10.0, 0.01)
data1 = np.exp(t)
data2 = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
color = 'tab:red'
ax1.set_xlabel('time (s)')
ax1.set_ylabel('exp', color=color)
ax1.plot(t, data1, color=color)
ax1.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor=color)
ax2 = ax1.twinx() # instantiate a second Axes that shares the same x-axis
color = 'tab:blue'
ax2.set_ylabel('sin', color=color) # we already handled the x-label with ax1
ax2.plot(t, data2, color=color)
ax2.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor=color)
fig.tight_layout() # otherwise the right y-label is slightly clipped
plt.show()
