Is it possible to use kinks in a scatter plot?

$begingroup$
Can I use kinks in a scatter plot? Would the presence of kinks on the x-axis or y-axis undermine the conclusions that can be derived from the graph?

Kinks are breaks in the axes. They are used when come parts of the axes are not used and it is useless to show them on the graph.

They are zig zag lines. You can search about kinks on Google.

Maybe you could supply a source from a Google search that calls a break in an axis a "kink" as I'm not convinced that's standard terminology. Also, maybe a log or square root scaling of the axis might accomplish the objective.
