.. function:: yaxis(ax, color='k', shift=0)

    Set y axis of the axes.
    
    :param ax: The axes.
    :param color: (*Color*) Color of the y axis. Default is 'black'.
    :param shift: (*int*) Y axis shif along x direction. Units is pixel. Default is 0.
    
    **Example:**
    
    ::

        ax1 = axes(position=[0.113,0.15,0.7,0.8])
        yaxis(ax1, color='b')
        line1 = plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2], 'b-', label="Density")
        xlabel('Distance')
        ylabel('Density', color='b')
        title('Mutiple Y Axis Sample')

        ax2 = twinx(ax1)
        yaxis(ax2, color='r')
        line2 = plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 3, 2], 'r-', label="Temperature")
        ylabel('Temperature', color='r')

        ax3 = twinx(ax1)
        yaxis(ax3, shift=60, color='g')
        line3 = plot([0, 1, 2], [50, 30, 15], 'g-', label="Velocity")
        ylabel('Velocity', color='g')
        lines = [line1, line2, line3]
        legend(lines)
