25 ## Plots two sets of data with independent y-axes. The arguments @var{x1} and
26 ## @var{y1} define the arguments for the first plot and @var{x1} and @var{y2}
29 ## By default the arguments are evaluated with
30 ## @code{feval (@@plot, @var{x}, @var{y})}. However the type of plot can be
31 ## modified with the @var{fun} argument, in which case the plots are
32 ## generated by @code{feval (@var{fun}, @var{x}, @var{y})}. @var{fun} can be
33 ## a function handle, an inline function or a string of a function name.
35 ## The function to use for each of the plots can be independently defined
36 ## with @var{fun1} and @var{fun2}.
38 ## If given, @var{h} defines the principal axis in which to plot the @var{x1}
39 ## and @var{y1} data. The return value @var{ax} is a two element vector with
40 ## the axis handles of the two plots. @var{h1} and @var{h2} are handles to
41 ## the objects generated by the plot commands.
