y-axis with "break"

Dear R-users

I would like to draw a barplot with a special y-axis. Most of my data
points are in the range from -50 to 50, apart from one value that is
550. I would now like to have a y-axis from -50 to 50, then a "break"
and the "rest" of the y-axis, let's say from 500 to 600. In order to
make clear what I'm trying to do, I attached a figure.

Is it possible to do this in R?

There is an axis.break() function in 'Kickstarting R' at:

http://cran.r-project.org

under "Contributed Documentation". It allows the user to place a
break at any point on any axis.
