Is it possible to have more than two vertical axis in Mathematica 2D plots?

This is possible for example in matplotlib (plotting library for Python):

http://matplotlib.org/examples/axes_grid/demo_parasite_axes2.html

EDIT:

the only pitfall of the given answer in the linked question is that the figure cannot be resized, zoomed in/out and axis cannot be edited - when compared to the example that I provided in matplotlib link.

Use Frame -> True, Axes -> False. This gives two vertical and two horizontal axes, like in the Matlab plot. To label them, you will need to specify FrameLabel -> etc. instead of AxesLabel -> etc.. – DumpsterDoofus Oct 07 '14 at 14:49
the question asks for more than 2 vertical axis, e.g. see the link – den.run.ai Oct 07 '14 at 14:51

LOL I'm stupid, never mind. – DumpsterDoofus Oct 07 '14 at 14:52

So I checked the Axes and AxesLabel documentation and found no instances of using three different vertical axes (unless I'm missing something). It might be possible to hard-code another axis in, but it might be a bit kludgy. Hopefully there is a built-in way that someone is aware of. – DumpsterDoofus Oct 07 '14 at 15:01
same finding with me – den.run.ai Oct 07 '14 at 15:31

relate Q/A: Plot one set of “x” with at least three sets of “y” in different scale – kglr Oct 07 '14 at 16:26
this is what I was looking for, the only drawback is readability and extension to more than 3 axis in the linked answer – den.run.ai Oct 07 '14 at 16:38

@denfromufa If the linked Q&A is what you need we should close this question as a duplicate, or if it is not you should clearly state how your needs differ from the existing answers there in an edit to your question. – Mr.Wizard Oct 07 '14 at 18:33
@denfromufa my answer to the linked question could be extended to any (practical) number of vertical axes; note that the optx symbols and the Plot commands in the Overlay could readily be Mapped with a bit of tweaking. – bobthechemist Oct 07 '14 at 18:53
@bobthechemist I believe that your example can be extended – den.run.ai Oct 07 '14 at 19:15

you could also try MATLink – kglr Oct 07 '14 at 19:33
it would be easier to call matplotlib using python, not matlink :) – den.run.ai Oct 07 '14 at 19:42
