Hi Kevin,
I don’t check the link you provided very carefully. So I guess you already find a solution.
otherwise I have done something similar before and have made a bit general function to do
the job, which I think might be helpful for you.
You can check the following three functions at https://github.com/ChaoYue/pylsce/blob/master/g.py
Calc_Newaxes_Fraction
Axes_Replace_Split_Axes
Axes_Set_Breakaxis
a working example is below:
>>> fig,axs = plt.subplots(nrows=2)
>>> bottom_ax, top_ax = g.Axes_Replace_Split_Axes(fig,axs[0],split_fraction=[0.36,0.04,0.6],direction='v')
>>> g.Axes_Set_Breakaxis(bottom_ax, top_ax, 0.01,0.03,'v')
>>> left_ax, right_ax = g.Axes_Replace_Split_Axes(fig,axs[1],split_fraction=[0.38,0.02,0.6],direction='h')
>>> g.Axes_Set_Breakaxis(left_ax, right_ax, 0.03,0.02,'h')
the figure is as attached.
cheers,
chao

On the other hand, I’m still such a noob at Matplotlib … is there
a way to have one of the subplots take up more than its default 50%
allotment?
you can give a look at the last two plots in this example
http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/demo_tight_layout.html or use
plot.axes providing the rectangle that you want
That is closer to what I want, but still not there. I was finally able
to find something that fit the bill to 95% of what I want:
http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Proposal-for-Broken-Axes-td38050.html
The first post by ‘klukas’ does exactly what I asked for. It’s a
zig-zag on the Y-axis to show that what is graphed is not continuous,
and unlike the various “official” examples, the zig-zag placement is
user-specifiable, as opposed to exactly halfway between the top and bottom.
The only thing I have yet to figure out how to do is to simultaneously
have a zig-zag on the X axis as well – an artifact of how these
zig-zags must be created via multiple axes on the same figure, rather
than as built in to the axis artist.
For googleability:
The above linked graph code enables for matplotlib:
-
suppressed zeros on the Y-axis of an XY plot
-
showing suppressed data on the Y-axis
-
lightning bolt symbol on the Y-axis
-
zig-zag on the Y-axis
-
a “broken” Y-axis
Thanks for your pointers, Francesco, as they helped me to fine-tune my
Google search terms. And thank you, Klukas, whoever you are.
Cheers,
Kevin
