[Tex/LaTex] y-bar, symbolic x-coords not showing up

bar chartpgfplots

I'm trying to produce a y bar plot, that sometimes has data and sometimes doesn't. Yet, it has two plots and needs to get them right next to each other. Here is as close as I was able to get:

As you can see, the x ticks for the last four entries don't show up. Any idea why?

Best Answer

xtick=data only reads the data from the first \addplot it seems. A workaround is to add zero-values for the four missing data points in the first plot.

Code below, after removing the unused stuff from your example. \tikzexternalize in particular is unwanted, as I don't usually compile with shell-escape enabled, and without it you get an error. Note also that you load the color package twice, but pgfplots already loads xcolor, so that isn't really necessary.

PGFPlots – How to Plot Two Time Series with Bounds Using PGFPlots

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:
