Tikz: Transforming axis to skip an interval












3















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 an axis 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.

    @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.

@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.
