I have a routine called GTISEG which groups data points into segments.
With that routine, it is up to you to decide how big of a time
separation is a gap.

Once you have the time segments, you can do a FOR loop and plot each
segment separately, i.e. use WHERE to find the points in each segment,
and then OPLOT those points onto your graph.
