I am searching for a while to get my plot done as I like to have it. Actually, I have a left y-axis and two right y-axis based on the example given here: How to plot multiple y-axes? The information I got there did the job as I would like to have it. However, in my plot I would like to have the y-axis for the 2nd y-values on the right hand side too. I was searching around and found this one: multiple Y axis - margin which is not related to gnuplot. So right now I don't know how to do it except, I will use a vector and build the axis myself which might be not accurate in terms of positioning and not the best way to go. The question now is, if I can move the right border of the graph using an offset like I do it with the ytics and ylabels? The help of gnuplot does not provide anything for the »border« but I might also search at the wrong place.
The picture and gnuplot script is given below. However, I am not allowed to show the graphs but it does not play a role here. To sum up: I would like to have the red added line in my eps file at the end and I am wondering if this is possible without using arrows and building it myself. In addition I hope that this question may be relevant for others and was not asked and solved previously. Otherwise my search-investigation was bad. Thank you in advance.

Multiplot with Gnuplot without 2nd y-axis
PS: Based on my low level of reputation points, I am not allowed to put the picture directly (unfortunately).
After checking the manpage of gnuplot etc. I think there is no possibility how I would like to have it. However, a fast an easy workaround is using (as already mentioned vectors with do [] {}. My suggestion is as follows:
set arrow 1 from graph 1.20,0 to graph 1.20,1 nohead lw 1
do for [i=0:8] {
set arrow from graph 1.20,i/8. to graph 1.21,i/8. nohead lw 1
}
The outcome is given in the picture above (or link). Maybe someone can use it for the individual plots one may want to make. If someone knows an better solution, please let us know.
Kind regards Tobias
