A Simple Script to Illustrate Axis Changes in One Chart Controling the Axis in a Different Chart

// This Simple script illustrate a method to allow the axis settings from

// one platform, to replicate the same settings in a different platform's

// graph.

// This example places both platform's utput in the same window, but

// they could reside in separate window is that is what is desired

// Y Origin and Y Range for each graph.  When one of the

// Y axes is changed, it will be detected by comparing it with

// the last value that is being held in these columns

Very impressive, Jim. Worked great for synchronizing changes to the left and right y-axes in Graph Builder. Thank you for posting!
