You can also screw up the plot in Matlab:

h = plotyy(1:10, rand(1,10), 1:10, rand(1,10))
set(h(1), 'position', [0.5 0.5 0.4 0.4])

There's no listener on the position property. However, both axes are given
the same position in normalized units (not the outerposition). This means
that when resizing the figure window, the axes will still be aligned; no
listener is needed.

This looks good. Although I would avoid hardcoding twice the axes position
and use something like set(ax(2), 'position', get(ax(1), 'position')).
