Drawing a graph with broken y-axis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a freeware program to create graphs with a broken y-axis efficiently. While Excel can accomplish this task, users find it cumbersome, especially when needing to produce multiple graphs. The forum suggests exploring alternatives that simplify the process, as the method outlined on Peltier Tech's website is time-consuming for creating numerous graphs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of graphing concepts
  • Familiarity with Excel for graph creation
  • Knowledge of freeware graphing tools

Homework Statement


With what program (freeware) can I draw a graph with broken y-axis.

An example of what I want:

I know that this is possible by using Excel, but just in a very cumbersome way, right?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.

Because I have to make quite a lot of graphs with broken y-axis, I am looking for an easier method. The method of the website will take quite some time when I have to make 20 graphs with broken y-axis.
