Syntax

plotyy(x1, y1, x2, y2)

plotyy(x1, y1, x2, y2, type)

plotyy(x1, y1, x2, y2, type1, type2)

Description

Generates a plot with both left and right y-axes. plotyy(x1, y1, x2, y2) plots y1 against x1 with the left y-axis and y2 against x2 with the right y-axis.

Inputs

Name	Description
x1	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
y1	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
x2	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
y2	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
type	Specifies a valid plot type. type is a string that accepts the following values. 'bar' Generates a bar plot. 'loglog' Generates a double-logarithmic plot. 'plot' (default) Generates a standard plot. 'semilogx' Generates a plot with a logarithmic x-scale. 'semilogy' Generates a plot with a logarithmic y-scale. 'stem' Generates a stem plot.
type1	Specifies a valid plot type for x1 and y1. type1 accepts the same values as the type input.
type2	Specifies a valid plot type for x2 and y2. type2 accepts the same values as the type input.
