I don't agree with Rothwell that a truncated graph is never acceptable, but using it to create an exaggerated impression is indeed reprehensible.
If you truncate the graph, you should say so: "graph is truncated from original." Also, never remove the numbers from the axes.
Even if you do not intend to create an exaggerated impression, people like me will assume that is your intention. You have made a naive mistake. So don't do it without a good reason, and state your reason.
