Demo Parasite Axes2
===================

Parasite axis demo

The following code is an example of a parasite axis. It aims to show a user how
to plot multiple different values onto one single plot. Notice how in this
example, par1 and par2 are both calling twinx meaning both are tied directly to
the x-axis. From there, each of those two axis can behave separately from the
each other, meaning they can take on separate values from themselves as well as
the x-axis.
