How to Create Graph Breaks in SigmaPlot
SigmaPlot is a data analysis package that is used to conduct statistical analysis of data. You can take your information and generate a chart of it. However, for presentation style, you may wish to keep breaks between data elements or between certain values on the chart. These breaks are automatically created if the "Graph Break" setting is enabled in SigmaPlot's configuration menu.

A default of "Normal" is selected, but this can be changed to "No Gap," or "Small Gap," or "Large Gap" or "Custom."
