Show x-axis for each graph's top and bottom created by plotting along different y-axis

I have 4 figures spaced out on one window (not using subwindows...those are very confusing) by plotting them against different y axes and drawing them for only certain percentages of the window (they have the same x-axis.) I would like the bottom and top axis for each of the four graphs to repeat the very bottom (or very top axis), so that there is a rectangle around each graph with appropriate tick marks (I only want the units to display at the very bottom.)

The attachment shows what is wrong, I am currently using the zero line for each graph so it has a bottom. I am not sure if there is some setting to make the mirror apply to the bottom and top of each of the four figures.
If I understand what you want, I think the only way to achieve it is to make each subplot use its own X axis. Since you've clearly already spent quite a bit of time on this graph, I would make the change by saving the recreation macro (close the graph window and click Save), then edit the recreation macro. You will find the macro in the Procedure window (Windows menu, Procedure Windows->Procedure Window).

You should find several lines like
Display/L=<axis name> ywave vs xwave

Edit those lines to make them look like
Display/L=<axis name>/B=<x axis name> ywave vs xwave

Naturally, you need to replace things like <axis name> with a real name.

I suppose they are, but I think this is a case in which what you want is easier to get using subwindows. If you would like, post your experiment file and I can add a subwindow-based version of your graph so that you can see what it's like.
