Kst needs a mechanism to line up the X axes and scales of plots so that the same x-axis values correspond to the same pixels on-screen.
How does this relate to our current 'internal alignment'?

So is this tied zooming?

Also Match Axis in the context. The problem with Match Axis is that it also matches the Y axis which I understand is not what they want. Claude, do you need something more than Match Axis and tied zooming provide?
Ok reporter says tied zoom is a fine approach for it.
I did not know about this Match axis function, which could be useful, but it does not solve our problem, as it also match Y axis, would be nice if we could match all X axis of a windows, leaving Y scale untouched, otherwise it is useless in our case. This is not exactly what we were asking, kst decides where is the zero label positioned, we would like to be able to say, "put the zero at the crossing of X,Y axis". It now puts the zero at the same place for all plots most of the time but not always, and not necessarily at the X,Y axis crossing.
This sounds like tied X zoom: -Select the tie boxes for the plots you want to match the X axes for -In one of them zoom X only with the mouse (eg, <shift>mouse-zoom). All of the tied boxes will now have the same X axes, with the Y axes unchanged. cbn
