How to make a break on the x axis?

Suppose I have a plot and I want to start at 0 on the x axis(every 10 units) but I also want a break so that after zero my next point is 100 instead of 20. My numbers on x axis should look like 0, break, 100,110,120 etc. I know there is also some symbol to represent the break on the axis.

plot(rand(150,1))
xticks([0 100 120 150])

[hello]

But I also would like to see the break on the axis.

[hello]

Actually I am trying to break the xaxis on the histogram.

It would be efficient if you could explain your question clearly instead of your short responses. Also it's easier to help if you provide us some sample data and code that you're working with. Have you checked out the link Jan gave on his answer?

Take a look into the file exchange:

Even a search in the internet for "Matlab axis break" will be useful. I like the power of this forum, but asking an internet search engine is usually much faster than waiting for a person to post a solution.

Hi Jan, Is there any way to break x-axis in loglog plot? Thanks,

Hey, well, okay, I got the function breakxaxis running, and have a beautiful break just where I want, but.... I need several in the same graph. I tried "hold on" and then a new command, in this case:

i = breakxaxis([100 120]);

However, this gives an error:

Error using breakxaxis (line 75) splitXLim must be in the range given by get(AX,'XLim')

Bottom line: does anyone know a way to include more than one braek in your X axis?

I would love to know

Hi there, I used subplot and repositioned them to have desired figure. You can invisible ticks to have axis line in break region. by this way you can have several breaks in both x and y axis.

hello ehsan,

would it be possible to show the script how you have done it?
