Default how do you split the scale (x-axis) on a curve graph?

In Excel, how do you split the scale on the x-axis to obtain a better
representation of a curve (scatter with smoothed lines) graph? I have many
points over a short range, but other points also far from that range.
If it helps, it is a stress-strain curve, where i try to show the yield
stress, the proportional limit, the ultimate stress, and modulus of
elasticity.
Thanks

Now this is one that I have specific experience with as it is directly
related to my Master's thesis. I was looking at the yield stress of an
oriented polymer film at a pull angle off of the orientation axis. I
plotted the angle as the X value and the Yield stress on a logarithmic Y
axis. It's been a while so I'd have to check back in my thesis.

If you want to split either axis, take a look at this
