all data on one plot, however, if I specify xlim=c(0,500), there will be a very
long distance between points 24.5 and 456, what i am thinking is to make two
days(0 and 19 days) very close on the plot and use a kind of "//" sign
on the x axis to seperate the x axis. no work needed on Y axis. I hope I clarify
my question and thank you very much for your consideration and help in your busy
time.

Hi Zheng,
Have a look at gap.plot and axis.break in the plotrix package.
