@rafmora Yes I think you're exactly right. The "broken" look is exactly what we wanted to achieve to present the data without cutting off outliers or using a logarithmic scale, which can both be misleading

I have pandas 1.4.2 and seaborn 0.11.2.

Do you know why the bars are not displaying in the correct scale and inside the y-axis limits?

Thanks a lot
