BreakXAxis

h=BreakXAxis(x,y,start,stop,width) plots (x,y) and breaks the plot's x-axis between <start> and <stop>, by inserting a broken-axis symbol < // > into a space <width> wide. This type of plot is often used in scientific papers, when the data between <start> and <stop> isn't interesting. The code can be easily modified (swap y for x) to break the y-axis.
