Christian Feuersänger submitted an update to the
pgfplots
package.
Version number: 1.9
License type: gpl
Summary description: pgfplots - Create normal/logarithmic plots
in two and three dimensions for LaTeX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.9 comes with the following changes:
- new feature: asymmetric error bars
- new feature: activated math parser for axis limit arguments,
arguments in axis cs, and domain argument in log plots
- new feature: stacked bar plots place their 'nodes near
coords' correctly in the middle and print the increment
(compat=1.9)
- new feature: stacked bar plots suppress empty increments
(compat=1.9).
- new feature: 'scatter/position=relative|absolute' allow to
position 'nodes near coords' absolutely.
use-case: bar plots + nodes near coords which are at, say,
y=0 rather than their y value
- new feature: integration of smooth shadings & auto-CMYK
conversion usepackage[cmyk]{xcolor} or
selectcolormodel{cmyk} will reconfigure pgfplots to use
CMYK (document-wide)
- new feature (advanced audience only): programmatic access to
data coordinates during the visualization phase
-> allows much more customization for error bars, stacked
plots, nodes near coords.
- wrote beginner tutorials
- fixed bug: error bars and point meta did not work together
- fixed bug: stacked plots did not respect 'visualization depends on'
- fixed bug: luatex 0.76 is not backwards compatible; added version switch
- fixed bug: ternary library precision has been improved
- fixed bug: problem with axis limits very close to 0
- fixed bug: colormap specification limit case produced out of bounds exception
