Plotting with break in axis using Plot.jl

[Sahil_Khan]

I have data with has same y-axis range but for x-axis it has two different set of datapoints at far locations. Now plan is to plot them together with a break in x-axis.

I was trying initially with just directly using Plot.jl with led to connection of both sets with line which looks weird.

I would want to plot this without connecting line individually and introducing a break for data not present in between.

It will be helpful if someone can suggest if there is already an attribute for this in Plots.jl.

Thank you

If you provide the code for the diagram in the image it would be sure easier for respondents to provide answers backed up with adjusted code.
By the way: why not switch the axes for the plot taking advantage of same y-range displaying it at the x-axis?

Divide the points into two sets, and plot them separately. Along the lines of

x1, y1 = ...
x2, y2 = ...
plot(x1, y1)
plot!(x2, y2)

Linking related Plots.jl’s thread, with code example for breakplots.

Maybe it is even better to add an inset graph of the unbroken x-axis with rectangles showing the plot area of the two different larger charts.

Something like:

I don’t know if this is easy, but you could try subtracting 400 (or something) from x in the second set of data. Then, plot both on the same x-axis but manually place and label the ticks on the x-axis.

Crude, but it works.
Using Makie not Plots, I’m afraid, but presumably same idea applies!

using PDFmerger
import CairoMakie as Mke

let
    x1=Int[]
    x2=Int[]
    y=Int[]
        for i=1:10
        push!(x1, i)
        push!(x2, i + 500)
        push!(y, i)
        end

    fig, ax, plot = Mke.scatterlines(x1, y)
    Mke.scatterlines!(x2, y)
    Mke.save("testplot.pdf", fig)
    for i in eachindex(x2)
        if x2[i]>200
            x2[i] -= 450
        end
    end
    fig2, ax2, plot2 = Mke.scatterlines(x1, y)
    ax2.xticks = (0:10:60, ["0", "10", "20", "//", "490", "500", "510"])
    Mke.scatterlines!(x2, y)
    Mke.save("tmp.pdf", fig2)
    append_pdf!("testplot.pdf", "tmp.pdf", cleanup=true)
