You could adapt the approach from http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116765/particular-bar-plot-with-pgfplots-bar-color-category/116773#116773 for this, which uses the `scatter/@pre marker code` to draw "fake" bars:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.8} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ymin=0] \addplot+[ scatter, only marks, colormap={test}{ color=(blue!10); color=(blue!20); color=(blue!30); color=(blue!40); color=(blue!50); color=(blue!60); color=(blue!70) }, scatter/use mapped color={draw=blue,fill=mapped color}, scatter/@pre marker code/.append code={ \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=true,/pgf/fpu/output format=fixed} \pgfmathsetmacro\negheight{-\pgfplotspointmeta} \fill [draw=black] (-1ex,0) rectangle ([xshift=1ex]axis direction cs:0,\negheight); \pgfplotsset{mark=none} }, ] plot coordinates { (1,1565) (2,1164) (3,740) (4,2273) (5,1688) (6,2942) }; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} On 06/06/2013 04:23 AM, Denis Bitouzé wrote: > Hello, > > is there a way to get scatter (y)bar plots, I mean the bars filled > with a colour depending on the y values? > > The following MCE doesn't give the expected result: > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > \documentclass{article} > \usepackage{pgfplots} > \pgfplotsset{compat=1.8} > \begin{document} > \begin{tikzpicture} > \begin{axis}[ybar] > \addplot+[ > colormap={test}{ > color=(blue!10); color=(blue!20); color=(blue!30); > color=(blue!40); color=(blue!50); color=(blue!60); color=(blue!70) }, > scatter/use mapped color={draw=blue,fill=mapped color} > ] > plot coordinates { > (1,1565) > (2,1164) > (3,740) > (4,2273) > (5,1688) > (6,2942) > }; > \end{axis} > \end{tikzpicture} > \end{document} > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
