# Example (JKQTPlotter): Barchart With Two-Color Fill-Mode {#JKQTPlotterBarchartsTwoColorFilling} This project (see [`second_axis`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/second_axis) shows how to plot with multiple axes. The source code of the main application is (see [`second_axis.cpp`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/second_axis/second_axis.cpp). In the code we take these step to set up a plot with two secondary axes and three graphs: 1./2. create a plotter and create columns with different dataset: ```.cpp // 1. create a plotter window and get a pointer to the internal datastore (for convenience) JKQTPDatastore* ds=plot.getDatastore(); // 2. now we create two columns for key and value size_t columnX=ds->addLinearColumn(40, 0,10,"x"); size_t columnY1=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnX, [](double x) { return x; }, "y1"); size_t columnY2=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnX, [](double x) { return cos(x); }, "y2"); size_t columnY3=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnX, [](double x) { return x*x; }, "y3"); ``` 3. create a second y-axis and set its formating options, so it only draws an axis on the right ```.cpp auto yAxisRef2=plot.getPlotter()->addSecondaryYAxis(new JKQTPVerticalAxis(plot.getPlotter(), JKQTPPrimaryAxis)); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setDrawGrid(false); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setDrawMode1(JKQTPCADMnone); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setDrawMode2(JKQTPCADMcomplete); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setDrawMode0(JKQTPCADMnone); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setShowZeroAxis(false); ``` ... and ctreate third y-axis ```.cpp auto yAxisRef3=plot.getPlotter()->addSecondaryYAxis(new JKQTPVerticalAxis(plot.getPlotter(), JKQTPPrimaryAxis)); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setDrawGrid(false); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setDrawMode1(JKQTPCADMnone); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setDrawMode2(JKQTPCADMcomplete); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setDrawMode0(JKQTPCADMnone); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setShowZeroAxis(false); ``` ... reformat the major y-axis, so it does not draw on the right and thus the secondary axis yAxisRef2 replaces it there. If this step is omitted, the secondary axes stack on the right of the primary. ```.cpp plot.getYAxis()->setDrawMode2(JKQTPCADMnone); plot.getYAxis()->setColor(graph1->getLineColor()); ``` 3. create graph in the plot, which plots the dataset: 3.1 the first graph uses the default (primary) x/y-axes ```.cpp JKQTPXYLineGraph* graph1=new JKQTPXYLineGraph(&plot); graph1->setKeyColumn(columnX); graph1->setValueColumn(columnY1); plot.addGraph(graph1); plot.getYAxis()->setAxisLabel("graph1"); ``` 3.2 the second graph uses the default (primary) x-axis, but the secondary axis yAxisRef2 as y-axis ```.cpp JKQTPXYLineGraph* graph2=new JKQTPXYLineGraph(&plot); graph2->setKeyColumn(columnX); graph2->setValueColumn(columnY2); plot.addGraph(graph2); ``` tell graph2 to use this axis ```.cpp graph2->setYAxis(yAxisRef2); ``` set axis color to match graph2's color ```.cpp plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setColor(graph2->getLineColor()); ``` set axis label ```.cpp plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef2)->setAxisLabel("graph2"); ``` 3.3 the third graph uses the default (primary) x-axis, but the secondary axis yAxisRef3 as y-axis ```.cpp JKQTPXYLineGraph* graph3=new JKQTPXYLineGraph(&plot); graph3->setKeyColumn(columnX); graph3->setValueColumn(columnY3); plot.addGraph(graph3); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setColor(graph3->getLineColor()); plot.getYAxis(yAxisRef3)->setAxisLabel("graph3"); graph3->setYAxis(yAxisRef3); ``` 4. autoscale the plot so the graph is contained. This auto-scales all axes using the graphs (and their data) as assigned to the axes, i.e.: - all 3 graphs for x-axis, - graph1 for primary y-axis, - graph2 for secondary axis yAxisRef2 - graph3 for secondary axis yAxisRef3 ```.cpp plot.zoomToFit(); ``` 5. show plotter and make it a decent size ```.cpp plot.setWindowTitle(title); plot.show(); plot.resize(500,400); ``` The result looks like this: ![second_axis](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/second_axis.png) If we set seondary axes for the x-axis instead of the y-axis, i.e. use ```.cpp // ... auto xAxisRef2=plot.getPlotter()->addSecondaryXAxis(new JKQTPHorizontalAxis(plot.getPlotter(), JKQTPPrimaryAxis)); // ... ``` we get a plot like this: ![second_axis_hor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/second_axis_hor.png)
