PR Summary
break_axes is a Matplotlib-based utility module for creating broken axes. See issue 11682
In this new break_axes package, axis scaling and break marker addition are separated into two functions, as these two features are independent. Additionally, a
clip_pathapproach is used to create breaks in spines and hide artists in the folded regions of the axes.Currently, the implementation of break_axes consists of fewer than 900 lines of code, approximately half of which are docstrings. It can currently be installed using the following command:
Multiple Broken Axes
Log Axes
Even for Contour Plot
