I think Jim Lemon's anwsered the question but why do you need a cut? There is no need to have a zero on the plot unless it is some quirky style matter for the journal. Any literate scientific reader should be able to understand that the y-axis runs from .5 to 1 or whatever. Adding a zero point and the || simply is what Tufte would call chart junk. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
