&lt;br /&gt;
==Description== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standard plot module already provides a basic tool to control the plot axes [[File:Matplotlib_edit_subplot.png|24px]]. But that tool is clearly insufficient when multi-axes plots have to be handled, as is the case in the [[Plot_MultiAxes_tutorial|Multi-axes plot tutorial]]. To overcome that limitation you can install the [[Image:Workbench_Plot.svg|24px]] [[Plot_Workbench|Plot Workbench]] using the [[Std_AddonMgr|Add-on manager]], so a more complete tool to edit the plot axes will be available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Plot_MultiAxes_Example.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Usage== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the plot tab that you want to edit, and run this tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is strongly recommended to start scaling the whole plot so you can be sure it will fit into the available space. To this end enable the option &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Apply to all axes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apply To All Axes.png|Apply to all axes]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Caption|Apply to all axes selector}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that you can scale the whole plot to fit it in the visible area, using the four sliders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Caption|Sliders to scale the plot}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you are happy with the general size of the plot, you can deselect &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Apply to all axes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and fine tune each set of axes independently. Just select the set of axes you want to edit at the top&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Caption|Selector for the set of axes to de edited}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can again use the sliders to control the area covered by that subplot. You can also control where the ticks and titles are placed for both X axis and Y axis&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Plot Axes Position.png|Plot axes position editor]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Caption|Editor of positions for the selected axes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More specifically, you can set whether X axis is shown below or above the plot, as well as whether Y axis is shown at the left or at the right of the plot. You can even set the offset of both axis with respect to the plot baseline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally you can set the minimum and maximum values considered for each set of axes, the so-called zoom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
