plot with discontinuous x-axis

Hi there,

i'd like to plot a data series with signal values over timestamps, what
works perfectly. But if I want to display 2 series with different time
domains, theres a gap in between.
For example my first set of data is from time (x) 1-3 and the second from
7-8. If I send the mixed array to the plot, I will receive something like
that:

y> x x x x x x
x> 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

But if there is considerably more time between the to data sets, it soon
will look confusing.
What i need is a graph over this:

y> x x x x x x
x> 1 2 3 7 8 9

Of course I could do this with 2 subplots, but i want to scroll over a whole
set of data.
Is it possible wih matplotlib, or is there a workaround?

Thanks!
Hubert

I was going to say:

Damn those stackoverflow cool kids, reinventing the wheel when we
already have an example for this in git:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/examples/pylab_examples/broken_axis.py

but now I see that's exactly the example that's the top answer,
there, heh.

best,

It should work for me with some little modifications!

Thanks to all! I'll post a screenshot when it's ready!
