secundary X axis in an Arrhenius plot

On an arrhenius plot you are plotting a growth rate versus the inverse of the
absolute temperature. It is leading to strange numbers on a first X axis. I
saw sometimes plots showing the temperature in celsius on a secundary X axis
on the top of the graph. This way it is more readable and the reader of the
document is aware in which temperature range you have been working.
 
In an Arrhenius (please give him a capital A), as in all physical chem
problems, temperature is measured on the Kelvin scale. Try making a T column
=ºC +273.2
 
Thanks

I know about the first axis. I am actually wondering how to have the
secundary X axis showing the original celsius temperature but in a kind of
hyperbolic scale as the temperature on second X axis must correspond to the
inverse of T on the first one. If I do the transformation myself I will have
to put some labels at teh right place instead of using the automatic scale
labelling

Thank you again
