Its funny that someone posted an almost identical question below. I think
Sebastien is wanting to do the same thing I am. Your suggested program,
however, is not what I need; in the plot, the axis ticks are regularly spaced
and there are two plot lines. What I need is one plot line, but with two
different scales that you can read values off.

For example, you can plot the Planck Blackbody curve as a function of
wavelength, wavenumber, or frequency. Ideally, I want to plot one line, and
have three axis that I can read the values off in the proper units.
(wavenumber is reciprocal wavelength, and frequency is c divided by the
wavelength). The three axis will necessarily have different spacings- ie one
may be linear and another logarithmic.

I can include a scan of a plot that I want to duplicate if I haven't
explained myself well enough.

thanks
