[Tex/LaTex] Multiple Y-axis plot (4 Ys YY-YY)

pgfplotstikz-pgf

Can someone help me creat a figure like the attached one which is generated by Origin Lab?

According to Jack's suggestion, I made my tex code as follows. The last thing I have to complish is the legend. Even though Jack has told the way, I still do not know to how to make this legend out.

Best Answer

To get a single legend for different axes, you need to assemble the legend by saying \addlegendimage{<plot options>} \addlegendentry{<legend text>} once for each of your plots in the final axis.

You don't have to manually specify the <plot options>: Instead, you can put \label{<plot name>} directly after each of your \addplot commands. Then, you can simply say \addlegendimage{refstyle=<plot name>} to activate the plot styles.

(I also cleaned up your code a little bit)

[Tex/LaTex] pgfplots: percentage in matrix plot

It does not work in your MWE because you are overwriting it by also giving the option nodes near coors to the \addplot command. Remove the latter one (or specify format here), and it will print. I added a thinspace before the percentage sign, although it can also be recommended to load the siunitx package and let that format and typeset the values for you.

Anyway, here's the quickfixed version:
