If I'm not mistaken, you might be able to write a Transform
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/transformations.html) to do
this, although I'm not sure how you'd render the split-mark. I don't
really know these things though, just a thought.

Hi, when I do:
 hist([0,0,0], bins=10, range=(0,10))
How come the single bin takes up the entire plot? Same with just two 
values, or anything less than 10 - the two bars take up the entire plot, 
no matter what I plug in for range. I'd just like 10 bins, from 0 to 9.

I tried installing mayavi on macos some months ago but I do not remember
exactly what were the problems. I know that I ended recompiling vtk from
sources and it did not work for some reason. The EPD bundle did not work
because (I think) of some conflicts between installed python version
(macpython and python from darwin ports) and the egg did not compile at
all. I tried today the last EPD on a fresh leopard install and it seems
to be working now.

This looks interesting. What platform are you using? How hard was the installation and what problems, if any, did you run into? And their fixes? Thanks for the info.

Hi,
I have a plot containing two lines that are quite far apart - ie one
line oscillates around y=2, the other around y=10. The osciallations
are small, but I would like to show the detail better (while having
htem in a single plot).
So I thought it would be nice if the y-axis scale went from 1-3 then
had a break (denoted with some kind of cross mark), then went from
9-11. I tried googling but I'm not really sure what the official name
for such a thing is, if there is one.
Is it possible to get this sort of effect with matplotlib? Or can
people suggest an alternative (I guess I will look at doing 2 subplots
one above the other very close together).
Cheers
Robin
