same figure window, different scales

$
0
0
I have a code where I need to show 3 plots on the same figure, but one is so small, that it looks like a line running along the bottom.

Is there a way to have 2 scales in one window so that I can plot my 2 similar plots on a scale , and my smaller plot with a second scale?

Code below if you want to see for yourself, the blue one needs to be scaled in the first window.

thanks all,
Alex
