Thank you for the quick reply,

your advice wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
The plot 1 of the example was ment to show my problem:
the secondary axis has it's first tick at the intersection with the x-axis
whereas the primary y-axis shows a nice little offset.

Using your advice i copied the y axis and tried to solve the Problem "by
foot". Unfortunately the lable text isn't willing to center to the ticks

Here is the code:

## R-Help 2014-05-28
## Test second. Y-Axix
library("zoo")

## generate some smooth timeseries
x1 <- c(38.2, 18.1, 83.2, 42.7, 22.8, 48.1, 81.8, 129.6, 52.0, 110.3)
x2 <- c(2.2, 0.8, 0.7, 1.6, 0.9, 0.9, 1.1, 2.8, 5.1, 2.1)

z1 <- zooreg(x1, start=as.POSIXct("2013-01-01 00:00:01"),
frequency=0.0000006)
z2 <- zooreg(x2, start=as.POSIXct("2013-01-01 00:00:20"),
frequency=0.0000006)
zt <- zooreg(rnorm(1050), start=as.POSIXct("2013-01-01 00:00:01"),
frequency=0.00007)

z<-merge(zt, z1, all = TRUE)
z<-merge(z, z2, all = TRUE)
Zf<-na.spline(z[,2:3], na.rm = FALSE)
##  ##  ##  ##

## Plot How to match secondary Y-axis ticks to primary ones
plot(Zf$z1, ylim=c(0,signif(max(na.omit(Zf$z1)*1.05),2)), xlab="")

## function to round up to a number divisible by n (2011 by Owen Jones)
roundup <- function(x,n){ceiling(ceiling(x)/n)*n}
##  ##  ##  ##

## use multiplication for even tick numbers and fake sekondary y-axis
max.yl<-roundup(max(na.omit(Zf$z2)), par("yaxp")[3])
multipl.yl<-max(na.omit(Zf$z2))/max.yl
multipl.z2<-signif(max(na.omit(Zf$z1)*1.05),2)/max.yl
lines(Zf$z2*multipl.z2, lty=2)
axis(4, labels = FALSE)
abline(h = axTicks(4), lty = "dotted", col="grey")
lablist.y<-seq(0, max.yl, length.out=par("yaxp")[3]+1)

## my problem!! text doesn't center to the ticks
text(y = seq(0, signif(max(na.omit(Zf$z1)*1.05),2),
length.out=par("yaxp")[3]+1),
par("usr")[2]+(par("usr")[2]-par("usr")[1])*0.025, labels = lablist.y, srt
= 90, pos = 4, xpd = TRUE)

I hope the problem gets clearer now and would be very glad if there is a
streighter solution.

Bastian
