Hi Denis,
there is a different solution which might work. I prepared it as
low-level backend in order to implement a nice, understandable
interface in pgfplots... however, it never made it that far and it is
far from nice, understandable.
It is a set of two hooks which is installed at the beginning and end of
every bar. Combined with a bit of fine tuning, you get what you wanted...
Here is the code:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.6}
\pgfplotsset{
shaded bars/.style={
point meta=y,
at begin bar={%
\pgfplotsaxisvisphasetransformpointmeta
\pgfplotscolormapdefinemappedcolor{\pgfplotspointmetatransformed}%
\begin{scope}[left color=black,right color=mapped color]%
\shade\pgfextra
},
at end bar={%
\endpgfextra;
\end{scope}%
},
},
}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[ybar]
\addplot+[
shaded bars,
colormap={test}{
color=(blue!10); color=(blue!20); color=(blue!30);
color=(blue!40); color=(blue!50); color=(blue!60);
color=(blue!70) },
]
plot coordinates {
(1,1565)
(2,1164)
(3,740)
(4,2273)
(5,1688)
(6,2942)
};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Attached is the result.
You see that I did something slightly more complicated: I shaded the
bars depending on the 'mapped color'. The 'shaded bars' style relies on
the two (currently undocumented) keys 'at begin bar' and 'at end bar'.
The two macros inside of it are mandatory; they take the raw point
meta; map them into the min/max range and define the 'mapped color'. The
rest is basically your example.
I always wanted to improve the bar plot handler systematically - once I
find time to do it; this kind of functionality will also receive attention.
Kind regards
Christian

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.
