The example provided is excessive,
but making *one* shortcut on *one* axis is a rightful request.

It is even considered good practice to show a shortcut mark at the bottom of a Y axis
when it doesn't start at 0, to highlight the fact that the tendency that is shown might
not be visible on a full axis (and thus that the importance of the tendency is questionable).

OK, so you propose to create sub-windows for this.
People usually add some break mark such as // or ≈ through the axis to highlight this,
but for a limited amount of graphics, this could be added with an external software such as Inkscape
(or drawn "manually" inside Scilab).

But such a ready-made function could be interesting.
Antoine, you win the right to add it on the Bugzilla wishlist (-:
