The main reason is because these symbolic coordinates do not fit in the space below the bars, so they infringe on the next coordinate. One solution would be to rotate them adding the following line to the \axis options :

x tick label style  = {rotate=25, anchor=east, color=pie7}

but this does not meet the requirements since rotated text is forbidden.

Does anyone know how to create a column below the bars where lines are skip automatically? Or how to simply skip lines when defining the symbolic coords?

Best Answer

Firstly

x tick label style  = {color=pie7,text width=2cm,align=center},

will specify a width for the labels and an alignment. Now the symbolic coords are really just an internal label (and so could be shorter) but what is printed as the label can be specified as xticklabels. Here you can use \slash instead of / allowing line breaks at these points.

[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.
