Extended Definition:
1. This replica will be identical to the original axis with the exception of the axis name. Axes must have unique names, so a new name must be specified when performing a axis copy. An axis copy operation implies the copying of all labels, limits, and scaling attributes of the original axis. The replica will be completely independent of the original, and may be modified without affecting the original.
2. An axis may not have the same name as another axis on the plot.
You may reference the axis with respect to the plot. For example, an axis named "ax1" on plot "p1" may be referenced by the full specification of ".p1.ax1". This is useful when copying an axis from one plot to another.
An axis name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
