plotting separated axes

Community matplotlib-users

hi all,

is there a way to plot separated axes in matplotlib? i.e. plots where
the origin (0,0) has no meaning, either because the data on the x axes
is categorical (e.g. you are plotting a histograms for three
categories) or for other reasons. an example of what i mean is this
graph:

or this: http://msenux.redwoods.edu/math/R/graphics/hist1.gif

any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
