matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Joe's guess was right, I got identical IDs for all twinx().
I had OSX10.9, matplotlib 1.3.x and tried both Python 2.7 and 3.3. A friend
of mine has Win7, matplotlib 1.2.0 and Pyhton 3.3, and also encountered the
problem I described. Even the comments by Damian and Lunayo on Joe's snippet
in Stackoverflow indicate that they had the same issue.
I renewed all my package installations in order to get matplotlib 1.3.1 and
have an environment that is similar to Dale's. Now I get the proper output
with both Python 2.7 and 3.3. Problem solved - yet not understood...
Thank you for your help!

Hi Dani,
A quick thought. You could do an interactive multiple axes graph with
Plotly, either with the Python API <http://plot.ly/api/python> or from the
GUI. Here's an example of how to re-make that one with Plotly and IPython.
The Notebook is here <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/cparmer/7685051> (and
a Notebook here <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/cparmer/7628933> demos
multiple axes, subplots, and insets).

Let me know if I can help with anything. Also, disclosure: I'm on the
Plotly team.
All my best,
Matt

Same here for what its' worth:
	OS X 10.9
	python2.7 from Fink
