Hi, I have some questions on the layout of bar plots (xbar) I couldn't find a solution so far. Below follows a minimal working example (MWE). I have many data to plot which is why I'm looking for automated solutions.
1. How can I use comma in “symbolic y coords”? (second plot MWE: “Waschen, Reinigen” instead of “Waschen/Reinigen”) 2. Can “symbolic y coords” automatically be filled with the content of a table row? 3. I do not understand how “text width” in “yticklabel style” works. Increasing it shifts the whole plot to the right but it does not seem to increase the text width for the labels; at least there's a lot of white space on the left of the plot while there's enough text to fill the white space. 4. How can I automatically adjust vertical spacing? Both plots in the MWE have the same height and width. But the second plot needed more space.---JFTR: I already asked a similar question here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84073/space-between-bars-height-and-width-of-the-plot %Minimal working example: ---> \documentclass{article} \usepackage{% pgfplots% ,filecontents% ,fontspec% } \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \begin{document} \begin{filecontents}{drei-balken.dat} 6, zu groß 59, genau passend 3, zu klein \end{filecontents} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[% xbar, % symbolic y coords={zu groß,genau passend,zu klein},% ytick=data,% nodes near coords,% nodes near coords align={horizontal},% ] \addplot table[col sep=comma,header=false] {drei-balken.dat}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \begin{filecontents}{vierzehn-balken.dat} 57, Waschen/Reinigen 50, Obst abholen 47, Verteilen 44, Zerkleinern 43, Abfall entsorgen 38, Schälen 38, Arbeitsgeräte säubern 5, Sonstiges 2, Tisch decken 1, Waschen u.
