[ncl-talk] Axis truncation

[Buzan, Jonathan]

Hi Adam,

I have to think about it.  This isn’t the most pressing thing at the moment!

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.

Hi,

If you are referring to a graphical representation such as shown in the attached link, I am unaware of any NCL function/resource to perform this.

Hello NCL,

I am attempting to make a Box plot with multiple boxes.  However, one of my tails is >>longer than all other plots (box #3 has a long negative tail).  Often in figures, a plotting technique would truncate the axis with a ‘break’ (e.g. ~).  I cannot seem to find this function.

Can NCL truncate an axis?
