Hi everyone, Here is a script that creates a graph with a y-axis break. I went with a suggestion from Darren to use two axes and draw a break symbol in between them. The advantage of two axes is that you can pan them independently (plus it's probably easier). It shows roughly what I think it should look like, but I still have to improve a few things. So I have a few questions:
- how can I hide the y-ticks in the middle of the graph (so hide only the ticks on the top y-axis of the lower axes while leaving the ones at the bottom there? - Can I somehow use a transAxes transform so the axis break symbol (now implemented as a LineCollection) stays in the same position when panning? Is a LineCollection the best choice? I tried with a Patch class, the problem is that the verts of this symbol are not connected. > >>>>> "Ralf" == Ralf Gommers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Ralf> Hi everyone, Guess no-one has a trick yet to put in an axis > Ralf> break.
