That is closer to what I want, but still not there. I was finally able to find something that fit the bill to 95% of what I want: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Proposal-for-Broken-Axes-td38050.html The first post by 'klukas' does exactly what I asked for. It's a zig-zag on the Y-axis to show that what is graphed is not continuous, and unlike the various "official" examples, the zig-zag placement is user-specifiable, as opposed to exactly halfway between the top and bottom. The only thing I have yet to figure out how to do is to simultaneously have a zig-zag on the X axis as well -- an artifact of how these zig-zags must be created via multiple axes on the same figure, rather than as built in to the axis artist. For googleability: The above linked graph code enables for matplotlib: - suppressed zeros on the Y-axis of an XY plot - showing suppressed data on the Y-axis - lightning bolt symbol on the Y-axis - zig-zag on the Y-axis - a "broken" Y-axis Thanks for your pointers, Francesco, as they helped me to fine-tune my Google search terms. And thank you, Klukas, whoever you are. Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
