Nice function, Michael. I can see this will be very useful.

I found some bugs, though. Try this example:

sampleTimes = [1:200];
RPM = [600+rand(1,100)*500, 9000+rand(1,100)*2500];
breakplot(sampleTimes, RPM, 1500, 8500, 'Line');

I get an error in line 142 with the RESHAPE function.

One question, I don't quite understand the reasoning behind how you get the yticklabel. Can't you simply do this?

set(gca, 'yticklabel', num2str(ytick'));
