Attached is a histogram chart with a break on y-axis which my friend made for me using phot shop. Do anyone know how to make such a break using R? Thanks in advance.

How to make a break on y-axis of a histogram chart using R?

It is possible to do this with R, but I really don't think it is desirable because it can produce a very misleading graphic. Why do you want to introduce a break in the axis? Hadley

Hi Hank, As your illustration didn't make it through the R malware filter, I can only say that gap.plot in the plotrix package _might_ do what you want. As Hadley has noted, make sure that it shows what you want to show. Jim
