For example: In[1]:= g1 = Plot[Cos[30/(1 + x^2)], {x, -10, 10}, Frame -> True] In[2]:= g2 = Plot[30/(1 + x^2), {x, -10, 10}, Frame -> True, PlotStyle -> Hue[0], Axes -> False, FrameTicks -> {Automatic, None, None, True}] We scale g2: In[3]:= scale[y_] := -.6 + y/15 In[4]:= scaledTicks = FullOptions[g2, FrameTicks][[4]] /. {y_Real, label_, len_, style_} :> {scale[y], label, len, style}; In[5]:= scaledGraph = Graphics[g2[[1]]] /. {x_Real, y_Real} :> {x, scale[y]}; ...and combine In[6]:= Show[g1, scaledGraph, FrameTicks -> {Automatic, FullOptions[g1, FrameTicks][[2]], None, scaledTicks}] But I'm sure, David Park has something better to offer at http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/Mathematica.html -- Hartmut Wolf
