Notes

The multiple Y axes graph contains multiple layers. The number of layers equals to the Y columns plotted. Each one of these Y columns is plotted in one layer.

Layer 2, layer 3, layer 4 ... are linked to layer 1.

The X axis in layer 2, layer 3, layer 4 ... has a straight one-to-one link with the X axis in layer 1.
