[Tex/LaTex] pgfplots stacked bar chart with markers

bar chartpgfplots

I have a stacked bar chart. I would like to add markers to the chart in some
values. I am trying to create something like in the stacked bar chart. Is it possible to add markers instead of another stacked bar in this chart?

Also there are few more questions if possible –

I want to set ymin=0, but this is shifting the bar chart upwards. Is there anything wrong I am doing?
How to add shadow to the bars in the graph? I am getting dimension too large error.
How to flatten the graph such that I get the same aspect ratio as I have in the example figure below.

I have following code that works already.

In the table, I would like to plot the predicted values as small squares.

Thanks !

I would really not recommend this plot because basically it's not readable and all data is dominated by Step 3 and predicted ones. First the question,

The plot goes up because you enlarge both limits, you need enlarge x limits=0.15,
I didn't get that error with your code.
You can do that via both declaring a width and a height dimension.

I cleaned up a bit, the code and the result is

As you can see, most of your data vanished and you have strange entries in your legend because those datasets are invisible.

Instead I can think of two options,

clean up the legend and mention only step3, step 5+6, and predicted columns with a disclaimer that the remaining step contribution is negligible and comparable
Combine your negligible entries into a sum and plot that but I can't judge whether it would be a good idea here for your application.

[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:

[Tex/LaTex] grouped bar chart with pgfplots

nodes near coords alone, without any further customization, results in the desired nodes on top of the bars.

This has the disadvantage that your legend description are no longer a standard nodes near coords instruction. The way that pgfplots handles such a case would be to use legend entries, perhaps as in the following example:

Here, nodes near coords draws the individual bar values. The legend entries, together with a bit of legend customization, results in the description on top of the plot.

Note that \strut in the tick labels causes all tick labels to have the same size (even below the text's base line), such that they are aligned vertically (thanks @egreg for the suggestion).
