Dear List, can anyone tell me how to plot a discontinuous y-axis (ordinate with a -/ /- "break sign") to fit in data with a wide range without the need of logarthimic transformation? My data are distributed like this: (abscissa: 1:10) 1. vector to plot Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 4.030 5.987 6.865 19.520 16.200 88.000 2. vector to plot Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 0.000 2.112 2.620 2.976 4.303 7.030 I have just this one 88 outlier and cannot log-transform the data (reviewers want plain data). I would be glad to get help. Yours sincerely, Jobst Landgrebe
