R help - Mar 2002 - breaks in axis

Hello,

is there a easy way to get a break into an axis line to indicate that one
has removed a part of the axis to save space. The jajority of my data
points is between 0 and 5, and just one data point goes up to 20. I'd just
like to put in a break between 5.5 and 25.


        thanks a lot for help,

AFAIK: No. You will have to manipulate the plot manually.

I'd suggest to set this one data plot to a reasonable value, say 8, plot
without an axis and make an axis manually (of course labeled with 20 at
the location of 8). You can also mark the break in the axis with two
lines, for example.
