Description

I have a chart where most of the data falls within a small range, but there is one large outlier. (In my particular case, roughly, I have a timeseries chart with some historical data and one data point for "today.") I would like to have a "jump" in the graph that omits a large part of the axis in order to make the data fit usefully onto the screen while preserving a sense of scale. In my case I want this on the X-axis but here is an example on the Y-axis from [this thread](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/196138/what-to-call-the-symbol-where-there-is-a-break-in-content-or-a-break-in-a-graph) about this feature's many names:

Here are some different ways it could be represented:

I am not picky about how it looks though! 😁
