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) ################################## minimal input file ################################## other files ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1153 Feb 14 13:59 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 80 Feb 14 13:59 /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 30 2011 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 12 2011 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 12 2011 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 30 2011 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5097 Feb 14 13:59 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10219 Feb 14 13:59 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3110 Feb 14 13:59 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat ###################################### Files in /etc/texmf/web2c/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283 Jun 8 2010 mktex.cnf ###################################### md5sums of texmf.d 3875bf0f4a53a29b7f247399dc9833e2 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf 6e82a3d4c00ae7e4f86aa8dcf9438cf3 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf c60a084820a0b73e3bfbf2e90bda437c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf ea33127256c6a9f37145ae5b16fdb80c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf afccf1d3f87057411166a77c58e00bd1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf 9da7c1c7b1eaf06f941af91f48a23068 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf 7ae52efac46feb97010986e57877d12e /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf 37329819f1109e8a457e64b8b58fecdb /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf a8952d594677235951d447665ec46e9c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf 402d5adb3864c09ed3cd80c0f2131361 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf 1df66bc319cec731e202eaf39f5d85e1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/96JadeTeX.cnf -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages texlive-pictures depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii luatex 0.60.2-1 next generation TeX engine ii tex-common 2.08.1 common infrastructure for building ii texlive-base 2009-11 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-binaries 2009-8 Binaries for TeX Live ii texlive-common 2009-11 TeX Live: Base component Versions of packages texlive-pictures recommends: ii pgf 2.10-1 TeX Portable Graphic Format ii texlive-pictures-doc 2009-11 TeX Live: Documentation files for Versions of packages texlive-pictures suggests: pn dot2tex <none> (no description available) Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii ucf 3.0025+nmu1 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-pictures is related to: ii tex-common 2.08.1 common infrastructure for building ii texlive-binaries 2009-8 Binaries for TeX Live -- debconf information: tex-common/check_texmf_wrong: tex-common/check_texmf_missing: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
