Right axis ticks and negative numbers

[Dave_Thomson]

Has anyone else noticed that when you have a Y axis on the right side of a graph and have ticks showing, it can be confusing in that positive numbers look like negative numbers?  I've played a little bit with custom formatting of the numbers, like adding spaces before the number.  Any other known improvements?

Thanks,

You could change the color of the labels. That might make it a little more clear that it is not negative.

Thanks.  That's pretty much what I ended up doing.  There are two traces, different colors, one on each (left and right) axis.  So I made the axis labels colored to match the trace colors.  Helps the user see what trace is on which axis, and makes the ticks (still black) not look like negative signs.

Maybe I should put in a suggestion for ticks that go inside the axis...
