I found many, many helpful things on tex.stackexchange for pgfplots - thanks for that!

But i can't figure out how to:

  • insert a new line after "without" or "with"
  • hide value 0 or the whole bar
  • change the x tick's so there's no decimal power ([10^..])
  • prevent nodes near coords of beein plottet outside the chart

the two charts:

changes in stacked barchart

and the sourcecode:

\documentclass[a4paper]{report} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfplots} \title{Tests} \pgfplotsset{counter_barchart/.style={ width=0.85\textwidth, height=5cm, xbar, xmin=0, xmajorgrids = true, tick align = outside, xtick pos = left, x tick label style={ /pgf/number format/1000 sep=}, enlarge y limits=0.4, symbolic y coords={Ass. Optimization,with Optimization,without Optimization}, ytick=data, yticklabel style={text width=0.2\textwidth}, every node near coord/.append style={/pgf/number format/1000 sep=}, nodes near coords, nodes near coords align={horizontal}, legend style={at={(0.5,-0.35)},anchor=north,legend columns=-1}, reverse legend }} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[counter_barchart] \addplot coordinates {(0,Ass. Optimization)(19243,with Optimization) (8898,without Optimization)}; \addplot coordinates {(7854,Ass. Optimization) (6652,with Optimization) (6548,without Optimization)}; \legend{Second,First} \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \\ \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[counter_barchart] \addplot coordinates {(3985,without Optimization) (5456,with Optimization)}; \addplot coordinates {(5223,without Optimization) (11054,with Optimization)}; \legend{Second,First} \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

  • Hi, welcome to the site! Questions work best if they are only concerned with one issue at a time. That way, other users with the same problem stand a better chance of finding the question. In this case, your third question is answered at How do you remove the axis multiplier?. About your fourth question: What behaviour would you prefer? Do you want the label to be cut off, or should the axis limits adjust to accommodate the labels? Commented May 9, 2014 at 10:57
  • okay! i'll ask one after one :) i was able to remove the axis multiplier. I prefer the second option - the axis limits adjust to accommodate the labels. Commented May 9, 2014 at 11:53

To avoid the hyphenation in the yticklabel:

yticklabel style={text width=0.2\textwidth,align=flush left},

To hide value 0 as nodes near coords:

nodes near coords={% \pgfmathtruncatemacro\NNC{\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x}}% \ifnumequal{\NNC}{0}{}{\NNC}% needs package etoolbox },

To avoid xtick scaling:

scaled x ticks=false,

To prevent nodes near coords of being plotted outside the chart:

enlarge x limits={0.15,upper},

Code:

\documentclass[a4paper]{report} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{ counter_barchart/.style={ width=0.85\textwidth, height=5cm, xbar, xmin=0, xmajorgrids = true, tick align = outside, xtick pos = left, x tick label style={/pgf/number format/1000 sep=}, scaled x ticks=false, enlarge y limits=0.4, enlarge x limits={0.15,upper}, symbolic y coords={Ass. Optimization,with Optimization,without Optimization}, ytick=data, yticklabel style={text width=0.2\textwidth,align=flush left}, nodes near coords={% \pgfmathtruncatemacro\NNC{\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x}}% \ifnumequal{\NNC}{0}{}{\NNC}% }, nodes near coords align={horizontal}, legend style={at={(0.5,-0.35)},anchor=north,legend columns=-1}, reverse legend } } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[counter_barchart,xtick={0,4000,8000,12000,16000,20000}] \addplot coordinates {(0,Ass. Optimization)(19243,with Optimization) (8898,without Optimization)}; \addplot coordinates {(7854,Ass. Optimization) (6652,with Optimization) (6548,without Optimization)}; \legend{Second,First} \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \vspace{1cm} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[counter_barchart] \addplot coordinates {(3985,without Optimization) (5456,with Optimization)}; \addplot coordinates {(5223,without Optimization) (11054,with Optimization)}; \legend{Second,First} \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
