It's called ActivePositionProperty and it tells which position property is
adjusted when the window is resized (from Position and OuterPosition)
and Units is "normalized". When ActivePositionProperty is outerposition,
the position property is adjusted (outerposition is kept constant) when
the window is resized, otherwise the outerposition property is adjusted
(position is kept constant). In the case of plotyy, setting
ActivePositionProperty
to position just makes sure that both axes objects will still be aligned
when the window is resized: otherwise, position would be adjusted, and
it might not be the same for both axes.
