Hi Marc1, As Marc2 said, the use of discontinuous axes in plots is a contentious one. No, I did not try to make gap.barplot compatible with barplot2 as the two seem to have different aims. gap.barplot is one solution to the troublesome issue of the outlier. What I would suggest as a one-off solution (to the horror of some) is to subtract, say, 25 from the outlier value, do the barplot, then: par(xpd=TRUE) axis.break(2,21,style="gap") text(barpos[4],24,48.6) I realize that your plot is more complex (I don't have gplots, etc. installed so I can't reproduce it at the moment), but that might give you something with which to work.
