Hi everybody,

I have to display data that varies greatly in magnitude. So I want to break the axis scale.
Is it possible?

No.
My question is: How do I break an axis so that one or two very large values don't drown out the rest of my chart?

I want something like this http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/BrokenYAxis.html.

I had tried with a logarithmic scale, but the resulting chart was not good. The higher values was drawn together, very confusing.

The DateAxis supports something called a TimeLine which should provide the functionality that you need. But you need a NumberAxis which does not support that. I wonder whether it would be possible to steal the TimeLIne could from the DateAxis, rewrite it to be useable for the NumberAxis, and then provide a suitable implementation.
For now, as a workaround, you could use a CombinedDomainCategoryPlot with two subplots. Use a small range (starting from zero) for the lower plot and use a small range around the "very large values".

Can any one provide any direction on how to implement this functionality? I require the same functionality, to insert breaks into an axis.

Hi,

I had done what paradoxoff said, and used the CombinedDomainCategoryPlot.
Here is the result:
