I have to plot data of the following format:

year,value1
-10000000,10
0,10
1890,10
1900,50
1930,500
1970,1500
2000,4000

Using standard pgfplots I do this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.5}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}
\addplot table [col sep=comma,x=year,y=value1] {data.csv};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

From which I get this:

default pgfplots plot

The problem here is that one very small value of -10000000; it has to be in the plot... Is it possible to somehow omit the values from say -9999999 to 1850? Somehow breaking up the plot line?

I have something like this in mind? [ And I am terribly sorry for the figure! ;-) ]

  • Maybe something like tex.stackexchange.com/q/46422/18674 may point into the right direction.

  • Does it have to be at -10000000? Or could it be at something like -1000?

  • I was unable to solve this problem in time, so I ended up creating two plots with different ranges. Nevertheless a solution for this problem would be nice.
