Tikz: Transforming axis to skip an interval
Two graphs are illustrated in a diagram, with quite a lot of space inbetween, making it rather unsightly. I would like to move them closer together by skipping the space inbetween.
This is the diagram
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz,pgfplots}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
pgfplotsset{
scale only axis}
begin{axis}[tick align=center,xmin=546, xmax=565, ymin=0, ymax=60]
addplot[line width=1pt]
coordinates{(564,0)(563,10)(562,20)(561,30)(560,40)(559,50)(558,60)};
addplot[dotted,line width=1pt]
coordinates{(552,0)(551,10)(550,20)(549,30)(548,40)(547,50)(546,60)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
And this is how I imagine the x axis:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz,pgfplots}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
foreach x/y in {0/550, 1/552, 4/556, 5/558}
draw (x,0.25) -- (x,-0.25) node[below]{$y$};
draw (-0.5, 0)--(2,0);
draw (3, 0)--(5.5,0);
draw[dotted] (2,0)--(3,0);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

So you are looking for anaxis x discontinuity
? See e.g. tex.stackexchange.com/a/62778/121799.

Thx thats it. Having problems setting the position of the discontinuity. Do you know how to specify the interval that is skipped?

This is almost entirely taken from this answer. Of course one has to exchange the role of x
and y
, then ymin
and ymax
become xmin
and xmax
, as Stefan Pinnow mentions.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.16,scale only axis}
usepgfplotslibrary{groupplots}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{groupplot}[width=6cm,
group style={
group name=my fancy plots,
group size=2 by 1,
%xticklabels at=edge bottom,
horizontal sep=0pt
},
]
nextgroupplot[tick align=center,xmin=545, xmax=553, ymin=0, ymax=60,
axis y line=left]
addplot[line width=1pt]
coordinates{(564,0)(563,10)(562,20)(561,30)(560,40)(559,50)(558,60)};
addplot[dotted,line width=1pt]

@Zarko AFAIK you can move the symbol, e.g. the crunch around. But this does not give you a discontinuity for the ticks. Of course, you can add coordinate transformations, see tex.stackexchange.com/a/46651/121799. But the groupplot thingy is IMHO simpler.
