Actually, I suspect a subtle error in Mathematica's code instead of mine, since I think the following plots should have identical tick sizes: Plot[t,{t,0,2},Frame->True] Show[%,AbsoluteOptions[%,FrameTicks]] On 8/8/07, Chris Chiasson <chris at chiasson.name> wrote: > In the old version of Mathematica, I used David Park's Draw Graphics > package to obtain graphs with two y axes scales.
