[ax,hlines] = plotyyy(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,ylabels)
%PLOTYYY - Extends plotyy to include a third y-axis
%
%Syntax: [ax,hlines] = plotyyy(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,ylabels)
%
%Inputs: x1,y1 are the xdata and ydata for the first axes'
line
% x2,y2 are the xdata and ydata for the second axes' line
% x3,y3 are the xdata and ydata for the third axes' line
% ylabels is a 3x1 cell array containing the ylabel strings
%
%Outputs: ax
- 3x1 double array containing the axes' handles
% hlines - 3x1 double array containing the lines' handles
%
%Example:
%x=0:10;
%y1=x; y2=x.^2; y3=x.^3;
%ylabels{1}='First y-label';
%ylabels{2}='Second y-label';
%ylabels{3}='Third y-label';
%[ax,hlines] = plotyyy(x,y1,x,y2,x,y3,ylabels);
%legend(hlines, 'y = x','y = x^2','y = x^3',2)
