matplotlib

I don't know how to make the "//" symbol in the y-axis, but if you  
have two plots that share the same x-axis, you can represent this  
kind of data.

The "Working with multiple figure and axes" section of the tutorial

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html

is almost right; if you turn off the display of the x-axis in the  
upper plot, it will be even better.

I was thinking of something like this - it isn't pretty, but it does  
get all the data on the page.


import pylab

# Annoying-to-plot data
data=[1]*100 + [2]*3 + [3]*2+ [4]*3 + [5]

# Make a histogram out of the data in x and prepare a bar plot.
top = pylab.subplot(211)
vals, bins, patchs = pylab.hist(data)

# but only show the top fraction of the graph in the upper plot
top.set_ylim(max(vals)-2, max(vals)+2)

bot = pylab.subplot(212)
vals, bins, patchs=pylab.hist(data)
bot.set_ylim(0,4)

pylab.show()
