What can I do? Gretl doesn't support this as an option to the "gnuplot" (or "plot") command, but it's easy enough in gnuplot. Example: * Open data9-7 and ask for a time-series plot of PRIME and UNEMP (by default these use a single y-axis). * In the plot window, right-click and choose "Save to session as icon". * Right click on the resulting plot icon and choose "Edit plot commands". * In the commands, insert the lines set ytics nomirror set y2tics before the actual "plot" command. * Within the "plot" lines, insert (before the "title" spec in each case): axes x1y1 # for PRIME axes x1y2 # for UNEMP * Optionally, change the titles to "PRIME (left)" and "UNEMP (right)". So you've got: '-' using 1:($2) axes x1y1 title "PRIME (left)" w lines , \ '-' using 1:($2) axes x1y2 title "UNEMP (right)" w lines * Save the plot specification.
