plot selected scales on +/- axes

Hi All,

I wonder whether it is possible to use the plot function and reduce
the scales on both +/- quadrants, i.e.
plot the data from -15. -8 and 8..15 only.

Hi Sabine,
As David noted, you might want gap.plot:

library(plotrix)
testdat<-c(sample(-15:-8,6),sample(8:15,6))
gap.plot(testdat,gap=c(-7,7),
  main="Gap on Y axis")
gap.plot(testdat,rnorm(12),gap=c(-7,7),
  main="Gap on X axis",gap.axis="x")
