 [] enclose units   () enclose units   64   0100 
 Y-axis label ticks on left   Draw them on right side   128   0200 
 Draw left and right y-axis   No right-side y-axis   256   0400 
 Draw left and right y-axis   Draw just right-side y-axis   512   01000

Plot type 256 is allowed only when type 128 is not selected. Plot type 512 is allowed only when type 128 is selected.

Selecting overall plot type 128 places the y-axis label and tick numbers on the right side of the plot. By itself, this plot type is useful if the plot only has one type of y-axis numbering.

To have different numbering and labels on each side of the plot, first enter labels and ranges for the left side, select overall plot type 256 and draw the plot. Plot type 256 prevents the right side axis from being drawn. Next select overall plot type 640 (128+512), enter the ranges (ra) and labels (tx) for the right-side axis, and draw the axis and labels. Plot type 128 places the label and numbers to the right, and plot type 512 draws only the right-side axis.

APS -style labels (1024) have parentheses around the units and no multiplication sign in front of the scale factor. For dimensionless quantities, the inverse of the scale factor is placed in front of the label with no parentheses.
