Bug#660724: texlive-pictures: new version of pgfplots available
Package: texlive-pictures
Version: 2009-15
Severity: wishlist
There is a new version of pgfplots available.
I'd like to be able to use a box-and-whiskers plot, as described here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3983/can-i-use-pgfplots-to-make-a-boxplot
Here is the example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{testdata.dat}
0 1 1.2 0.4 1.5 0.2
1 2 2.3 1.5 2.7 1
2 0.7 1.4 0.5 1.9 0.1
\end{filecontents}
\pgfplotsset{
box plot/.style={
/pgfplots/.cd,
black,
only marks,
mark=-,
mark size=1em,
/pgfplots/error bars/.cd,
y dir=plus,
y explicit,
},
box plot box/.style={
/pgfplots/error bars/draw error bar/.code 2 args={%
\draw ##1 -- ++(1em,0pt) |- ##2 -- ++(-1em,0pt) |- ##1 -- cycle;
},
/pgfplots/table/.cd,
y index=2,
y error expr={\thisrowno{3}-\thisrowno{2}},
/pgfplots/box plot
},
box plot top whisker/.style={
/pgfplots/error bars/draw error bar/.code 2 args={%
\pgfkeysgetvalue{/pgfplots/error bars/error mark}%
{\pgfplotserrorbarsmark}%
\pgfkeysgetvalue{/pgfplots/error bars/error mark options}%
{\pgfplotserrorbarsmarkopts}%
\path ##1 -- ##2;
},
/pgfplots/table/.cd,
y index=4,
y error expr={\thisrowno{2}-\thisrowno{4}},
/pgfplots/box plot
},
box plot bottom whisker/.style={
/pgfplots/error bars/draw error bar/.code 2 args={%
\pgfkeysgetvalue{/pgfplots/error bars/error mark}%
{\pgfplotserrorbarsmark}%
\pgfkeysgetvalue{/pgfplots/error bars/error mark options}%
{\pgfplotserrorbarsmarkopts}%
\path ##1 -- ##2;
},
/pgfplots/table/.cd,
y index=5,
y error expr={\thisrowno{3}-\thisrowno{5}},
/pgfplots/box plot
},
box plot median/.style={
/pgfplots/box plot
}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis} [enlarge x limits=0.5,xtick=data]
\addplot [box plot median] table {testdata.dat};
\addplot [box plot box] table {testdata.dat};
\addplot [box plot top whisker] table {testdata.dat};
\addplot [box plot bottom whisker] table {testdata.dat};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
This doesn't work (at least) because version 1.2.2 of pgfplots doesn't
have support for 'y error expr'. I found reference to this in version
1.5.1 of the pgfplots manual:
It is also possible to use mathematical expressions together with
‘plot table’. This is documented in all detail in Section 4.2.5, but
the key idea is to use one of x expr, y expr, z expr or meta expr as
in ‘plot table[x expr=\thisrow{maxlevel}+3,y=L2]’.
Thanks,
Neal
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.
Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.
Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german)
