addaxis_unit

This function adds a second y-axis to a x-y plot using a relationship between the two y-axes.

This function allows to use two different y-axes with the same data in one plot. Note, that only one curve but in two different units is shown. This is the difference to plotyy which plots two different datasets into one figure.

Take a look to the screenshot and run the different examples in the zip-file to understand the usage.
