Is it possible to use the grid pattern on a node but also setting a background color to it, say blue?
I want to use something like
\node (b) [fill=red, pattern=grid] {b};
I am aware of the solution here:
How to combine fill and pattern in a pgfplot bar plot?,
but it does not seem to apply directly to a node. Thanks in advance!
For the pattern color use:
\addplot[red,pattern=horizontal lines, pattern color=red] coordinates {(AAA,0.32) (BBB,0.43)};
The first red is for the contour of the bar e the pattern color=red is for the pattern itself.
What errors do you have? I use pgfplots 1.5.1 so I use compat=1.5 and I comment your compat/show suggested version=false line and this works for me.
The problem is caused by the combination of clip=false and ybar stacked: For some reason, this makes the nodes near coords disappear (looks like a bug to me).
You can avoid this problem by placing the paper node first, outside the axis. That way, everything will automatically be drawn on top of the paper background, without any need for using layers:
\documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,decorations.pathmorphing}
%Use the new axis label placement features
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.8}
\usepackage{helvet}
\usepackage[eulergreek]{sansmath}
\begin{document}
\pgfdeclarelayer{background}
\pgfsetlayers{background,main}
\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{
category, mass, other
{dollars\\\$3.14m}, 31, 69
{donors\\56\,000}, 21, 79
}\warren

\addplot [fill=blue] table [x expr =\coordindex, y=mass, meta=mass] {\warren};

\end{axis}
