Hi y'all!

I am trying to display timed data with the vision's chart component. The data used has large intervals where no data is collected. The machine is not running. Because of those big data leap, the data is hard to visualize.

Is there a way to trigger an axis break on the x axis so it is easier to visualize?

I looked at some of the JFreeChart methods, but i can't find anything about axis breaks.  
Example of the data leap:

What it could look like after the break(Sorry for the bad photoshop skills):

Try using subplots with "CombinedRange" mode.
