Hi Eike,

I didn't know how to do, so it was a nice exercise. Here is a solution using plot(). I have made a function plot.break(); the name of parameters of the function are self-explained (I think), but tell me if you need more explanation.
You can add any parameters of the plot() function.

I have made this function very fast and it is not fully tested. If you see a problem, do not hesitate to tell me.

Sincerely

Marc

Hello,
I want to break the y-axis on one of my plots. I read this is possible- but
apparently only with the plotrix package that requieres R version 3.6-1? I
cannot seem to find that version on the R homepage.. it is a version you
have to pay for? Are there any other possebilities to do it (I am currently
running (for R version 3.1.2) )
Thank you,
Eike
