Swap the left and right axes

I have a graph showing different left and right axes (by appending some of the data traces to the left and the other to the right). May I quickly swap the left and right axes without remaking the graph (i.e. re-appending the data traces)?
Unfortunately, no.

But you can use this workaround:

Close the graph and save the recreation macro.

Edit the macro to use Display or AppendToGraph with /R where they have no /R flag (or where it has a /L=someAxis flag)
and change any /R to /L.

Before:
Window Graph0() : Graph
    PauseUpdate; Silent 1       // building window...
    Display /W=(35.25,41.75,429.75,250.25) data1
    AppendToGraph/R data2
EndMacro

After:
Window Graph0Rev() : Graph
    PauseUpdate; Silent 1       // building window...
    Display /W=(35.25,41.75,429.75,250.25)/R data1
    AppendToGraph/L data2
EndMacro


Then choose Windows->Graph Macros->(your graph's name)
