i have a problem with plotting multiple subplots , causing to show x and y axis with newaxces even if off and no on the same bases.  
How to correct the axes?

Hello,

You forgot to specify the newly created axes `b` as first parameter of the subsequent plot call and the further reference to `gca()` is in fact `b`:

```auto
b=newaxes();
plot(b,Dial,dpmin);
b.x_location ="bottom";
b.y_location ="right";
b.filled="off";
b.axes_bounds = a.axes_bounds;
b.data_bounds=[min(Dial),min(dpmin);max(Dial),max(dpmin)]
b.axes_visible=["off","on","off"]
b.children.children(1).thickness=2;
b.children.children(1).foreground=13;
ylabel("$dpmin\ [kPa]$","fontsize",2);

```

all the axes adjustments have to be done after the plot, like I did above.

You are right, I have created an issue: [Axes limits are incorrectly computed when axes\_visible is off (#17449) · Issues · scilab / scilab · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab/-/issues/17449)
