Multiple Axes - Which Axis?

David,

I think it would be nice to know which X or which Y a data series is plotted on. Any chance that you could add it to the Legend when multiple axes are specified? For and XY plot, to show a "(Y1)" or "(Y2)" after the label would confirm which axis the data is plotted against. Sometimes it's obvious, but many times it's not. It would probably be necessary to have a check box to choose whether the axis be shown or not, so user can select.

Thanks,
Jon

The only problem with that is additional Y axes have been promised for a while now and will hopefully be coming soon. After 2, the indices don't really have any meaning. For example if you have 3 on the left and 2 on the right, which one is Y3?

Well then, with even more than 2 Y axes allowed, I would like the axes to be labeled also. Perhaps a small Y1, Y2, or Y3, etc. at the top or bottom of the axis. Or the axis label could have a Y1, Y2, etc. appended or prepended (is that a word?). Again, user selectable so it can be turned on or off as desired.
