[ncl-talk] Axis truncation

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Jonathan,
Adding to Rick's reply: There is no automatic function that does it, but
you could manually truncate it yourself (or create your own function to do
so). This isn't as compact or clean as the example Rick pointed to, but
I've attached a simple example that was created by calling gsn_csm_contour
twice. If you're interested in creating your own function for boxplots, I
would think a few calls to gsn_add_polyline, and a call to a modified
version of the boxplot function would be needed.
