[Tex/LaTex] How to adjust the legend line length in pgfplots

legendpgfplots

I have a plot using pgfplots but I need to adjust the length of each legend. I can modify the width of each legend line, but I don't know how to modify the length of them. Is there any option to change that?

Add these to your code.

\pgfplotsset{
compat=1.11,
legend image code/.code={
\draw[mark repeat=2,mark phase=2]
plot coordinates {
(0cm,0cm)
(0.15cm,0cm)        %% default is (0.3cm,0cm)
(0.3cm,0cm)         %% default is (0.6cm,0cm)
};%
}
}

Change the values as you wish.

[Tex/LaTex] plotting two time series with bounds

This happens because PGFPlots only uses one "stack" per axis: You're stacking the second confidence interval on top of the first. The easiest way to fix this is probably to use the approach described in "Is there an easy way of using line thickness as error indicator in a plot?": After plotting the first confidence interval, stack the upper bound on top again, using stack dir=minus. That way, the stack will be reset to zero, and you can draw the second confidence interval in the same fashion as the first:

You can use

 y filter/.expression={y==0 ? nan : y}

in the options of \addplot.
