Customising plotrix::gap.barplot for a histogram with a gap in y-axis

Description

For Figure 1 of MEE paper, to make a histogram (barplot) with a gap in the y-axis. Customising gap.barplot() from the package plotrix by Jim Lemon and others Several default options here are customised for the particular plot (and to change a few of the defaults in gap.barplot) so the code would require some modifiying to use more generally.

Usage

gap.barplot.cust(
  y,
  gap = c(9, 980),
  xaxlab,
  xtics,
  yaxlab,
  ytics = c(seq(0, 8, by = 4), seq(980, 988, by = 4)),
  midpoints,
  breakpoints,
  xlim,
  ylim = c(0, 17),
  xlab = expression(paste("Values, ", italic(x))),
  ylab = "Count in each bin",
  horiz = FALSE,
  col = NULL,
  N = 1000,
  ...
)

Arguments

y	vector of data values
gap	range of values to be left out
xaxlab	labels for the x axis ticks
xtics	position of the x axis ticks
yaxlab	labels for the y axis ticks
ytics	position of the y axis ticks
midpoints	midpoints of the bins
breakpoints	breaks of the bins
xlim	optional x limits for the plot
ylim	optional y limits for the plot
xlab	label for the x axis
ylab	label for the y axis
horiz	whether to have vertical or horizontal bars
col	color(s) in which to plot the values
N	value of highest top short tickmark
...	arguments passed to 'barplot'.

Details

This function modifies plotrix::gap.barplot(), between 2nd Sept 2014 and finalised here in October 2019. plotrix was written by Jim Lemon and others and is available from CRAN at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plotrix/index.html.

Value
