How can I adjust the data aspect ratio in a plot with two y axes?

Hi all,
I am trying to create a Walter and Leith climate plot in Matlab. The scale of the right y axis needs to be double that of the left y axis and the numbers on the left axis should align with the numbers on the right axis. When I attempt to change the data aspect ratio Matlab returned: Warning: Only 'auto' DataAspectRatio is supported for axes with multiple coordinate systems. Are there any workarounds to this problem?
Cheers,
John

I'd set the limits of each axis individually, something like this:
% some data:
t = 1:12;
T = 20*sin(pi*t/12);
P = 30*sin(pi*t/12)+5*randn(size(t))+30;
% Plot the data
[ax,h1,h2] = plotyy(t,T,t,P);
% Set the axis limits of the T data:
set(ax(1),'xlim',[1 12],...
'ylim',[0 50],...
'ytick',0:10:50,...
'ycolor','r')
% Set the color of the T data line:
set(h1,'color','r','linewidth',2)
% Set the P data color and axis limits:
set(ax(2),'xlim',[1 12],...
'ylim',[0 100],...
'ytick',0:20:100,...
'ycolor','b')
set(h2,'color','b','linewidth',2)
box off
