+2009-02-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Released version 1.2
+
+2009-02-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - improved sanity checking in table package.
+ - fixed max/min implementation for fpu
+
+2009-02-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - patched key paths for plot file and plot table. One could not provide
+ options with key path /pgfplots. This will need a little bit more
+ attention later-on, see todo.txt.
+
+2009-02-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - removed missing character warnings
+ - fixed bug with domain processing for plot gnuplot.
+ - fixed bug in FPU : fpu+pgf 2.00 is problematic with unary minus signs
+
+2009-01-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - provided backwards compatibility for the domain and |samples at| key:
+ the tikz variants are used by default now.
+
+2009-01-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - manual improvements: fixed several typos in the manual; improved section
+ about alignment and section about upgrade remarks.
+ - manual improvements: replace a lot of gnuplot examples with 'plot
+ expression' commands.
+ - fixed the broken |axis equal| feature - it collided with the tickmin/max
+ processing. The tickmin/max is now processed somewhat different
+ - removed (some of the) 'no pt in nullfont' log warnings
+ - now, every input file will be protocolled to the log file (only).
+
+2009-01-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - re-implemented |domain|, |samples| and |samples at| keys. They are now
+ independ of the |/tikz/| variants - and provide the complete data range of
+ pgfplots.
+ - fixed missing \endgroup in plot gnuplot (in the case that -shell-escape
+ was not available)
+ - fixed small bug with empty-plot-special case and tickmin/max resetting
+
+2009-01-21 Pascal Wolkotte <wolkottept@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented '[x|y]tick[min|max]' option
+
+2009-01-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed bug: 'scatter/classes' couldn't be provided as behavior option.
+
+2009-01-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - improved fault tolerance of |scatter/classes|.
+ - fixed scoping bug with plot markers
+
+2009-01-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented \pgfplotstablesave
+ - \pgfplotstabletypeset and \pgfplotstabletypesetfile are now the same;
+ the input format is autodetected.
+
+
+2009-01-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented simple test for 'samples at' vs. 'domain'
+ - implemented 'table/create col/set list' style
+ - implemented a method to create new tables from scratch
+ - implemented some more postprocessing routines for table package
+
+2009-01-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed bug in clickable lib: logarithmic scales in x axes have not been
+ processed properly.
+ - now, the logarithmic sampling won't be applied for parametric plot
+ expressions. Furthermore, it has been optimized.
+ - improved compatibility between FPU and fixed point library inside of
+ pgfplots
+
+2009-01-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - both, plot gnuplot and plot expression now sample their points
+ logarithmically if the x (y) axis is logarithmic.
+
+2009-01-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - the fpu is now used automatically for plot expression and for the table
+ create col/expr feature. However, it will be disabled during the low-level
+ drawing commands of pgfplots. I rewrote some of the internals to avoid
+ problems with the low data range of tikz (for example during domain
+ processing).
+
+2008-12-31 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - improved FPU support
+
+2008-12-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added backwards compatibility switches for my new PGF library FPU.
+
+2008-12-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed some issues with stacked plots and skewed axes
+ - fixed a lot of manual typos and mistakes, thanks to Jeremie Knuesel!
+ - Greatly simplified notation for |plot expression|.
+ - introduced |\addplot gnuplot| as alias for |\addplot function|.
+
+2008-12-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added |create col/expr accum| style: a variant of |expr| which now
+ allows simple accumulation of columns
+ - added a |date type| style based on the pgf calendar package
+
+2008-12-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - provided a further improvement for empty plot handling: the normal
+ processing is now applied for empty plots, with special handling for the
+ named start/end coordinates.
+ - improved future compatibility with FPU: just in case it moves to a
+ separate library, I will check for such a thing.
+
+2008-12-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - there was a bug with minorgrids auto-deactivation which has been fixed.
+ - fixed a 'plot function[domain=..]' bug introduced yesterday
+ - floating point methods now don't use 'fp' for mantisse computations if
+ the fixed point lib is used
+
+2008-12-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - scatter will now assign a mark if none is set.
+ - empty plot bug has been fixed.
+ - using xmode in wrong context leads to error message.
+ - xticklabel pos now accepts 'top' and 'bottom'
+ - manual has more compact index: I removed the '/pgfplots/' and '/tikz/'
+ collections.
+ - improved index formatting.
+ - re-implemented plot expression's sampling method. The PGF \foreach
+ statement does not allow sampling domains beyond PGF's native math parser,
+ the new implementation does also support the 'fp' package (combinded with
+ the associated PGF library).
+ Efficiency is expected to be higher than the previous \foreach
+ implementation.
+ - Provided a specialized processing of the |domain| argument for plot
+ function which avoids the pgf math parser. Now, plot function provides the
+ full data range of gnuplot.
+
+
+2008-12-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - improved sanity checking for plot coordinate syntax; empty lines in plot
+ coordinates are now processed correctly.
+ - added alias for 'sample' key. It can now be provided as argument to axis
+ environments.
+ - added |no markers| shortcut style.
+ - Added documentation for interrupted plots (for example for
+ discontinuities in plots)
+
+2008-12-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - updated docs.
+ - Fixed bug when there are less legend entries than plots.
+ - added 'forget plot' option (and 'every forget plot' style)
+ - made '/pgfplots/domain' option a public key alias to '/tikz/domain'
+
+2008-12-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed a remaining bug with 'axis equal'
+ - fixed bug in pgfplots/tikz search path code
+
+2008-11-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added keys 'axis equal' and 'axis equal image' to get the same length
+ for each unit vector.
+
+2008-11-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - optimiziation of \pgfmathfloattofixed yields 7% time savings for
+ pgfplotstest. For plots with many points it will be even more.
+
+2008-11-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added '/pgfplots/refstyle={label}' key.
+ - added 'read completely' key.
+ - fixed bug with error bars: some of the latest changes must have been
+ during sleep.
+ - eliminated 6 dimen registers.
+
+2008-11-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - document bounding box modifications with 'overlay' option of pgf.
+ The examples require the latest CVS version of pgf, because pgf 2.00 has a
+ bug here (overlay and matrizes).
+
+2008-11-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added 'scaled ticks=manual' feature. It allows complete control
+ over the scaled tick algorithm and scaled tick label placement.
+ - improved support for french language, i.e. for active ';' and ':'
+ characters. The manual does not compile completely if switched to french,
+ but it is not much.
+ - updated pgfplotstable such that it can be adopted to more general tasks.
+ As example, html file output has been added to the manual.
+
+2008-11-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - the clickable lib can now be used independently of pgfplots.
+
+2008-11-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - improved compatibility between pgfplotstable and colortbl: \rowcolor
+ and dec sep align (sci sep align) now works properly.
+ - Added 'every col no <index>' style as alias for 'display columns/<index>'.
+ - provided error message if \pgfplotstablerow is used in the wrong
+ context.
+ - improved pgfplots documentation.
+ - improved pgfplotstable documentation
+ - 'sci sep align' and 'dec sep align' now only enable math mode for their
+ numbers, not for empty columns.
+
+2008-11-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added error bar adjustments for 'ybar' style
+ - fixed bug: error bars are now drawn after the main path
+
+2008-11-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed missing code portion for scatter and log plots
+ - added 'view' option which allows to specify pitch and yaw for definition
+ of a 3D viewport (definition of x,y and z unit vectors of PGF).
+
+2008-11-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - documented default values of cycle lists.
+
+2008-11-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - prepared more code for 3D-axis drawing. It is growing now and won't take
+ long for good-looking 3D figures.
+
+2008-10-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - used 'y domain='<empty> as feature for \addplot3 (\x,\x,\x):
+ this will sample from a line, not from a surface.
+
+2008-10-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented user interface to manually place 2D/3D tick LABELS (docs
+ missing).
+ The next step is to predefine them automatically for 3D plots.
+
+2008-10-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - renamed 'scatter plot' keys to 'scatter'
+ - improved scatter plot user interface (not yet documented in parts)
+ - implemented input methods for scatter coordinates (not yet documented)
+ - worked on 3D axis generation.
+
+2008-10-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Implemented colormaps.
+ - Implemented scatter plots.
+
+2008-10-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Fixed a bug introduced in latest changes: 'tick align' produced wrongly
+ positioned tick labels.
+
+
+2008-10-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Fixed a bug related to auto-tick placement and special cases of the
+ scaling transformation.
+ - Documented the new freedom in axis unit vector placement, reversed and
+ skewed axes.
+ - Introduced optimization for orthogonal axes.
+
+2008-10-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added 'copy' and 'sqrt' features to table package.
+
+
+2008-10-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Revised all new routines such that the 2D framework is running again.
+ All 2D tests appear to be ok.
+ The 3D stuff is neither documented nor ready, although early things
+ work. In the moment, it is only slowing things down, see todo.
+ - Updated clickable lib to work with the new framework.
+ - Removed remaining plain TeX '\loop' commands
+
+2008-10-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Restored state of 2008-09-25 because something did not work and I don't
+ have a stable version yet.
+ - Updated compatiblity for pgf 2.0: inserted 'min exponent for 1000 sep'
+ into compatibility files
+
+2008-10-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented input routines for 3D plots using \addplot3:
+ - coordinates,
+ - gnuplot,
+ - file,
+ - table,
+ - expression.
+ - updated coordinate streaming methods to work with 3D data.
+ I also cleaned and optimized the 2D code.
+ -> stacked plots and error bars do not reflect this yet!
+ - added 'plot function[<further behavior options>]' which are merged
+ together with those after 'plot[<behavior options>]'
+
+2008-10-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - implemented first running 3D axis with orthogonal projection.
+ Most features work, especially tick placement, grid lines, tick label
+ placement. Some detail decisions of how to things look pretty have to
+ be done and realized. Scaling does not work yet and there are still
+ plenty of open problems. The user interface for setting views is crual.
+
+2008-10-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed bug related to 'current axis' and origin anchors which occured
+ if axis limits have been restricted manually and axis descriptions
+ employed origin anchors.
+ - continued the change to logical coordinates.
+
+2008-10-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - changed internals to use logical coordinates consistently.
+ - Added feature 'x={(10pt,-3pt)}, y=-1pt'; allowing
+ - skewed axes,
+ - reversed axes,
+ - rotated axes,
+ as preparation for 3d plots.
+
+2008-09-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - optimized number processing and log computations. Logs are now a factor
+ of 3.8 faster.
+
+2008-09-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Provided options to manually configure the tick scaling algorithm:
+ either 1/10^<exponent> or 1/<real> can be configured.
+ - Added check for PGF 2.00 availability
+
+2008-09-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Placed all drawing commands for plots and markers into separate scopes
+ to end the effect of 'fill opacity' and 'dotted' styles.
+ FIXME: check whether this affects any named nodes and such!
+
+2008-09-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Improved compatibility with figure-environments. I had to turn
+ "hidden=false" to fix this incompatiblity. I hope this does not produce
+ visible artefacts... needs to be checked.
+
+2008-09-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added 'include outfiles' option to table package, together with
+ 'force remake'
+
+2008-09-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - fixed spacing bug in table package.
+ - outfile and debug feature of table package now produce proper newlines.
+
+2008-09-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added error messages if the table typeset features rely on LaTeX
+ packages (array,booktabs) which have not yet been loaded.
+
+2008-09-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - added 'clear infinite' postprocessor to table package.
+
+2008-09-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - re-implemented minimum and maximum computation because the PGF math
+ parser interface has been changed. The changes are backwards compatible
+ now.
+ - fixed a bug in logarithm computation.
+ - fixed some bugs related to the pgfplotsclickable library
+
+2008-09-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Provided sanity checking for gradient computation in table package:
+ division by zero now leads to empty cells.
+
+2008-08-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ - Added pgfplotsclickable library which displays point coordinates when
+ clicking into the plot region (acrobat reader only; relies on acrotex
+ bundle)
+

+pgfplots - A tool to work with scientific data. It draws normal and/or
+logarithmic plots in LaTeX/TeX/ConTeXt.
+
+pgfplotstable - Loads, rounds and formats and postprocesses numerical tables.
+
+Pgfplots draws high-quality function plots in normal or logarithmic
+scaling with a user-friendly interface. The user supplies axis labels, legend
+entries and the plot coordinates for one or more plots and Pgfplots applies
+axis scaling, computes any logarithms and axis ticks and draws the plots.
+It is based on Till Tantau's package PGF/TikZ.
+
+Pgfplotstable displays numerical tables rounded to desired precision in various
+display formats, for example scientific format, fixed point format or integer,
+using TeX's math facilities for pretty printing.
+
+Please take a look at
+ doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplots.pdf
+and
+ doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplotstable.pdf.

+\subsection{Troubleshooting -- Error Messages}
+This section discusses some problems which may occur when using \PGFPlots.
+Some of the error messages are shown in the index, take a look at the end of this manual (under ``Errors'').
+
+
+\subsubsection{Problems with available Dimen-registers}
+To avoid problems with the many required \TeX-registers for \PGF\ and \PGFPlots, you may want to include

+as first package. This avoids problems with ``no room for a new dimen''
+\index{Error Messages!No room for a new dimen}%
+in most cases. It should work with any modern installation of \TeX\ (it activates the e-\TeX\ extensions).
+
+\subsubsection{Dimension Too Large Errors}
+The core mathematical engine of \PGF\ relies on \TeX\ registers to perform fast arithmetics. To compute $50+299$, it actually computes |50pt+299pt| and strips the |pt| suffix of the result. Since \TeX\ registers can only contain numbers up to $\pm 16384$, overflow error messages like ``Dimension too large'' occur if the result leaves the allowed range. Normally, this should never happen -- \PGFPlots\ uses a floating point unit with data range $\pm 10^{324}$ and performs all mappings automatically. However, there are some cases where this fails. Some of these cases are:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item The axis range (for example, for $x$) becomes \emph{relatively} small. It's no matter if you have absolutely small ranges like $[10^{-17},10^{-16}]$. But if you have an axis range like $[1.99999999,2]$, where a lot of significant digits are necessary, this may be problematic.
+ \item The |axis equal| key will be confused if $x$ and $y$ have a very different scale.
+ \item You may have found a bug -- please contact the developers.

+\section{Related Libraries}
+This section describes some libraries which come with \PGFPlots, but they are more or less special and need to be activated separately.
+
+\subsection{Dates as Input Coordinates}
+\begin{tikzlibrary}{dateplot}
+ A library which allows to use dates like |2008-01-01| as input coordinates in plots. The library converts dates to numbers and tick labels will be pretty-printed dates.
+
+ This library is documented in section~\ref{pgfplots:sec:symbolic:coords} on page~\pageref{pgfplots:sec:date:coords}.
+\end{tikzlibrary}
+
+\subsection{Clickable Plots}
+\begin{tikzlibrary}{pgfplotsclickable}
+ A library which generates small popups whenever one clicks into a plot. The popup displays the coordinate under the mouse pointer. Furthermore, the library allows to display slopes if one holds the mouse pressed and drags it to another point in the plot.
+
+ Although this library has been written for \PGFPlots, it can be used independently of an \PGFPlots\ environment.
+
+ It is completely sufficient to write
+\begin{codeexample}[code only]
+\usetikzlibrary{pgfplotsclickable}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \noindent in the document preamble. This will automatically prepare every plot.
+
+ The library works with Acrobat Javascript and \pdf\ forms: every plot becomes a push--button.
+
+ \includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/pgfplotsclickable-fig1.png}
+ \rlap{\includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/pgfplotsclickable-fig2.png}}\hfill
+
+ \includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/pgfplotsclickable-fig3.png}
+ \rlap{\includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/pgfplotsclickable-fig4.png}}\hfill
+
+ \nobreak
+ These screenshots show the result of clicking into the axis range (left column) and of dragging from one point to another (right column). The second case shows start- and end points and the slope of the line segment in--between.
+
+ This document has been produces with |pgfplotsclickable|, so it is possible to load it into Acrobat Reader and simply click into a plot.
+
+ A click places an annotation at the coordinate under the mouse pointer, a snap--to--nearest feature is not available (yet?).
+
+ \paragraph{Requirements:}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The library relies on the \LaTeX\ packages |insdljs| (``Insert document level Javascript'') and |eforms| which are both part of the freely available |AcroTeX| education bundle~\cite{acrotex}\footnote{These packages rely on \LaTeX, so the library is only available for \LaTeX, not for plain \TeX\ or Con\TeX t.}. The |insdljs| package creates a temporary file with extension |.djs|.
+
+ \item At the time of this writing, only Adobe Acrobat Reader interpretes Javascript and Forms properly. The library doesn't have any effect if the resulting document is used in other viewers (as far as I know).
+
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \paragraph{Compatibility issues:}
+ There a several restrictions when using this library. Most of them will vanish in future versions -- but up to now, I can't do magic.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The library does not yet support rotated axes. Use |clickable=false| for those axes.
+ \item The library works only with |pdflatex|, |dvips| or |dvipdfm| are not supported\footnote{In fact, they should be. I don't really know why they don't $\hdots$ any hint is welcome.}.
+
+ \item Up to now, it is \emph{not} possible to use this library in conjunction with the image externalization methods of section~\ref{sec:pgfplots:importexport}.
+
+ To be more precise, the exported \pdf\ documents will work correctly, but the |\includegraphics| command does not import the dynamic features.
+ Please note that the exported \pdf\ documents will only work if |\usepackage[pdftex]{eforms}| is placed \emph{before} loading \pgfname, \Tikz\ or \PGFPlots.
+
+ \item The library automatically calls |\begin{Form}| at |\begin{document}| and |\end{Form}| at the end of the document. This environment of |hyperref| is necessary for dynamic user interaction and should be kept in mind if the document contains other form elements.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \paragraph{Acknowledgements:}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item I have used a javascript |sprintf| implementation of Kevin van Zonneveld~\cite{phptojs} (the javascript API has only a limited set of conversions).
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{tikzlibrary}
+
+It is possible to customize |pgfplotsclickable| with several options.
+
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{clickable=\mchoice{true,false} (initially true)}
+ Allows to disable the library for single plots.

+This library provides essentially one command, |\pgfplotsclickablecreate| which creates a clickable area of predefined size, combined with javascript interaction code. It can be used independently of \PGFPlots.
+
+\begin{command}{\pgfplotsclickablecreate\oarg{required key-value-options}}
+ Creates an area which is clickable. A click produces a popup which
+ contains information about the point under the cursor.
+
+ The complete (!) context needs to be provided using key-value-pairs, either set before
+ calling this method of inside of \oarg{required key-value-options}.
+
+ This command actually creates an AcroForm which invokes javascript
+ whenever it is clicked. A javascript Object is created which
+ represents the context (axis limits and options). This javascript
+ object is available at runtime.
+
+ This method is public and it is \emph{not} restricted to \PGFPlots.
+ The \PGFPlots\ hook simply initialises the required key-value-pairs.
+
+ This method does not draw anything. It initialises only a
+ clickable area and javascript code.
+
+ The required key-value-pairs are documented below.
+
+ \paragraph{Attention:} Complete key-value validation is \emph{not} performed here. It
+ can happen that invalid options will produce javascript bugs when
+ opened with Acrobat Reader. Use the javascript console to find them.
+\end{command}
+
+\noindent All options described in the following are only interesting for users who intend to use this library without \PGFPlots.
+
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{annot/width=\marg{dimension} (initially -)}
+ This required key communicates the area's width to |\pgfplotsclickablecreate|. It must be a \TeX\ dimension like |5cm|.
+\end{pgfplotskey}
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{annot/height=\marg{dimension} (initially -)}
+ This required key communicates the area's height to |\pgfplotsclickablecreate|. It must be a \TeX\ dimension like |5cm|.
+\end{pgfplotskey}
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{annot/jsname=\marg{string} (initially -)}
+ This required key communicates a unique identifier to |\pgfplotsclickablecreate|. This identifier is used to identify the object in javascript, so there can't be more than one of them. If it is empty, a default identifier will be created.
+\end{pgfplotskey}
+
+\begin{pgfplotskeylist}{annot/xmin=\marg{number},annot/xmax=\marg{number},annot/ymin=\marg{number},annot/ymax=\marg{number} (initially empty)}
+ These required keys communicate the axis limits to |\pgfplotsclickablecreate|. They should be set to numbers which can be assigned to a javascript floating point number (standard IEEE double precision).

+Furthermore, |plot coordinates| allows to define ``meta data'' for each coordinate. The interpretation of meta data depends on the visualization technique: for scatter plots, meta data can be used to define colors or style associations for every point (see page~\pageref{pgfplots:scatterclasses} for an example).

- function{sin(x)};
+ \addplot expression[domain=0:360]

+
+\paragraph{Remarks}
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item What really goes on is a loop which assigns the current sample coordinate to the macro |\x|. \PGFPlots\ defines a math constant |x| which always has the same value as |\x|.
+
+ In short: it is the same whether you write |\x| or just |x| inside of math expressions.
+
+ The variable name can be customized using |variable=\t|, for example. Then, |x| will be the same as |\t| (there won't be a short-hand name for user defined variable names).
+\index{x@\texttt{\textbackslash x} In Coordinate Expressions}%
+%\index{y@\texttt{\textbackslash y} In Coordinate Expressions}%
+
+ \item The complete set of math expressions can be found in the \PGF\ manual. The most important mathematical operations are
+ |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |abs|, |round|, |floor|, |mod|, |<|, |>|, |max|, |min|, |sin|, |cos|, |tan|, |deg| (conversion from radians to degrees), |rad| (conversion from degrees to radians), |atan|, |asin|, |acos|, |cot|, |sec|, |cosec|, |exp|, |ln|, |sqrt|, the constanst |pi| and |e|, |^| (power operation), |factorial|\footnote{Starting with \PGF\ versions newer than $2.00$, you can use the postfix operator \texttt{!} instead of \texttt{factorial}.}, |rand| (random between $-1$ and $1$), |rnd| (random between $0$ and $1$), number format conversions |hex|, |Hex|, |oct|, |bin| and some more. The math parser has been written by Mark Wibrow and Till Tantau~\cite{tikz}, the FPU routines have been developed as part of \PGFPlots. The documentation for both parts can be found in~\cite{tikz}.
+
+ Please note, however, that trigonometric functions are defined in degrees. The character `|^|' is used for exponentiation (not `|**|' as in gnuplot).

+\subsubsection{Computing Coordinates with Mathematical Expressions (gnuplot)}
+
+\begin{addplotoperation}[]{gnuplot}{\marg{gnuplot code}}
+In contrast to |plot expression|, the |plot gnuplot| command employs the external program |gnuplot| to compute coordinates. The resulting coordinates are written to a text file which will be plotted with |plot file|. \PGF\ checks whether coordinates need to be re-generated and calls |gnuplot| whenever necessary (this is usually the case if you change the number of samples, the argument to |plot gnuplot| or the plotted domain\footnote{Please note that \PGFPlots\ produces slightly different files than \Tikz\ when used with |plot gnuplot| (it configures high precision output). You should use different ids to avoid conflicts in such a case.}).
+
+The differences between |plot expression| and |plot gnuplot| are:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item |plot expression| does not require any external programs and requires no additional command line options.
+ \item |plot expression| does not produce a lot of temporary files.
+ \item |plot gnuplot| uses radians for trigonometric functions while |plot expression| has degrees.
+ \item |plot gnuplot| is faster.
+ \item |plot gnuplot| has a larger mathematical library.
+ \item |plot gnuplot| has a higher accuracy. However, starting with version 1.2, this is no longer a great problem. The new floating point unit for \TeX\ provides reasonable accuracy and the same data range as |gnuplot|.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Since system calls are a potential danger, they need to be enabled explicitly using command line options, for example
+\begin{codeexample}[code only]
+pdflatex -shell-escape filename.tex.
+\end{codeexample}
+Sometimes it is called |shell-escape| or |enable-write18|. Sometimes one needs two slashes -- that all depends on your \TeX\ distribution.

+
+\begin{plottype}{scatter}

+
+\label{pgfplots:scatter:src}
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{scatter src=\mchoice{none,x,y,z,explicit,explicit symbolic} (initially none)}
+ This key is necessary for any scatter plot. It needs to be provided as \marg{behavior option} for |\addplot| to configure the value used to determine marker appearances.
+
+ The choices |x|, |y| and |z| will use either the $x$, $y$ or $z$ coordinates to determine marker options\footnote{The coordinates are used after any coordinate filters, logarithms or stacked-plot computations have been applied.}. The choice |explicit| expects the scatter source data as additional coordinate from the coordinate input streams (see section~\ref{pgfplots:providing:input} for how to provide input meta data). They will be treated as numerical data. Finally, |explicit symbolic| also expects scatter source data as additional meta information for each input coordinate, but it treats them as strings, not as numerical data. Consequently, no arithmetics is performed. It is task of the scatter plot style to do sometthing with it. See, for example, the |scatter/classes| style below.
+
+ Please note that |scatter src|$\neq$|none| results in computational work even if |scatter=false|.

+\label{pgfplots:scatterclasses}
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/scatter/classes=\marg{styles for each classname}}
+ A scatter plot style which visualizes points using several classes. The style assumes that every point coordinate has a class label attached, that means the choice |scatter src=explicit symbolic| is assumed\footnote{If \texttt{scatter src} is not \texttt{explicit symbolic}, we expect a numeric argument which is rounded to the nearest integer. The resulting integer is used a class label. If that fails, the numeric argument is truncated to the nearest integer. If that fails as well, the point has no label.}. A class label can be a number, but it can also be a symbolic constant. Given class labels for every point, \marg{styles for each classname} contains a comma-separated list which associates appearance options to each class label.
+
+ If you need different |scatter/classes| arguments per plot, they must be given as \marg{behavior option}, not as style option.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\begin{axis}[scatter/classes={
+ a={mark=square*,blue},%
+ b={mark=triangle*,red},%
+ c={mark=o,draw=black,fill=black}}]

+In this example, the coordinate |(0.1,0.15)| has the associated label `|a|' while |(0.45,0.27)| has the label `|c|' (see section~\ref{sec:addplot} for details about specifying point meta data). Now, The argument to |scatter/classes| contains styles for every label -- for label `|a|', square markers will be drawn in color blue.
+
+In general, the format of \marg{styles for each classname} is a comma separated list of \meta{label}|=|\marg{style options}.
+
+\paragraph{Attention:} The keys |every mark| and |mark options| have \emph{no effect} when used inside of \marg{styles for each classname}! So, instead of assigning |mark options|, you can simply provide the options directly. They apply only to markers anyway.

+
+\begin{pgfplotsxycodekeylist}{
+ scatter/@pre marker code,
+ scatter/@post marker code}
+ These two keys constitute the public low-level interface which determines the marker appearance depending on the scatter source coordinates.
+
+ Redefining them allows fine grained control even over marker types, linestyles and colors.
+
+ The scatter plot algorithm works as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The scatter source coordinates form a data stream whose data limits are computed additionally to the axis limits. This step is skipped for |symbolic| meta data.
+\item Before any markers are drawn, a linear coordinate transformation from these data limits to the interval $[0.0,1000.0]$ is initialised.
+\item Every scatter source coordinate\footnote{During the evaluation, the public macros \texttt{\textbackslash pgfplotspointmeta} and \texttt{\textbackslash pgfplotspointmetarange} indicate the source coordinate and the source coordinate range in the format $a:b$ (for log--axis, they are given in fixed point representation and for linear axes in floating point).} will be transformed linearly and the result is available as macro |\pgfplotspointmetatransformed| $ \in [0.0,1000.0]$.

+The decision is thus based on per thousands of the data range. The transformation is skipped for |symbolic| meta data (and the meta data is simply contained in the mentioned macro).
+\item The code of |scatter/@pre marker code| is evaluated (without arguments).
+\item The standard code which draws markers is evaluated.
+\item The code of |scatter/@post marker code| is evaluated (without arguments).
+\end{enumerate}
+ The idea is to generate a set of appearance keys which depends on |\pgfplotspointmetatransformed|. Then, a call to |\scope|\oarg{generated keys} as |@pre| code and the associated |\endscope| as |@post| code will draw markers individually using \oarg{generated keys}.
+
+A technical example is shown below. It demonstrates how to write user defined routines, in this case a three--class system\footnote{Please note that you don't need to copy this particular example: the multiple--class example is also available as predefined style \texttt{scatter/classes}.}.

+\subsubsection{Interrupted Plots}
+\index{Interrupted Plots}%
+Sometimes it is desireable to draw parts of a single plot separately, without connection between the parts (discontinuities). There is limited support for such an application.
+\label{pgfplots:interrupt}
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{/pgfplots/forget plot=\marg{true,false} (initially false)}
+ This key tells \PGFPlots\ to add a plot without changing cycle list position and legends. This key is described in all detail on page~\pageref{pgfplots:forgetplot}.
+
+ However, it can be used to get the interesting effect of ``interrupted plot'', so it is also discussed here:
+\begin{codeexample}[width=4cm]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\begin{axis}[
+ width=10cm, height=210pt,
+ xmin=-4.7124, xmax=4.7124,
+ ymin=-10, ymax=10,
+ xtick={-4.7124,-1.5708,...,10},
+ xticklabels={$-\frac32 \pi$,$-\pi/2$,$\pi/2$,$\frac32 \pi$},
+ axis x line=center,axis y line=center,
+ no markers,
+ samples=100]
+
+% Use gnuplot as calculator here. The first two plots won't be counted:
+\addplot gnuplot[id=tan0,forget plot,domain=-1.5*pi+0.003:-0.5*pi-0.003] {tan(x)};
+\addplot gnuplot[id=tan1,forget plot,domain=-0.5*pi+0.003: 0.5*pi-0.003] {tan(x)};
+\addplot gnuplot[id=tan2, domain= 0.5*pi+0.003: 1.5*pi-0.003] {tan(x)};
+\legend{$\tan(x)$}
+\end{axis}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+
+ The interesting part is in the |\addplot| commands. The |id| is specific to the gnuplot interface (and can be omitted). The |domain| option defines separate domains for every plot part. Due to the |forget plot| key, the |cycle list| position is not updated so all three plots use the same line specification. Furthermore, only the last command affects the legend (and advances the cycle list).
+
+ \paragraph{Remark:} The |forget plot| feature is \emph{not very sophisticated}. In particular, it has the following \textbf{restrictions}:
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item Besides the |cycle list| side--effect, no styles are communicated between successive plots.
+ \item It won't work together with |stack plots|.
+ \end{enumerate}

+Besides predefined colors, it is possible to \emph{mix} two (or more) colors. For example, \showcolorandname{red!30!white} contains $30\%$ of \showcolorandname{red} and $70\%$ of \showcolorandname{white}.

This mixing can be done with any color, \showcolorandname{red!50!green}, \showcolorandname{blue!50!yellow}.
A different type of color mixing is supported, which allows to take $100\%$ of \emph{each} component. For example, \showcolorandname{rgb,2:red,1;green,1} will add $1/2$ part \showcolorandname{red} and $1/2$ part \showcolorandname{green} and we reproduced the example from above. Using the denominator~$1$ instead of~$2$ leads to \showcolorandname{rgb,1:red,1;green,1} which uses $1$ part \showcolorandname{red} and $1$ part \showcolorandname{green}. Many programs allow to select pieces between $0,\dotsc,255$, so a denominator of $255$ is useful. Consequently, \showcolorandname{rgb,255:red,231;green,84;blue,121} uses $231/255$ red, $84/255$ green and $121/255$. This corresponds to the standard RGB color $(231,84,121)$. Other examples are \showcolorandname{rgb,255:red,32;green,127;blue,43}, \showcolorandname{rgb,255:red,178;green,127;blue,43}, \showcolorandname{rgb,255:red,169;green,178;blue,43}.

+
+ \begin{tabular}{>{\ttfamily}ll}
+ hot & \pgfplotsshowcolormap{hot}\\
+ \end{tabular}
+
+ Colormaps can be used, for example, in scatter plots (see section~\ref{pgfplots:scatter}).
+
+ You can use |colormap| to create new color maps (see below).
+\end{pgfplotskey}
+
+\begin{pgfplotskey}{colormap=\marg{name}\marg{color specification}}
+ Defines a new colormap named \marg{name} according to \marg{color specification} and activates it using |colormap name=|\marg{name}.
+
+ The syntax of \marg{color specification} is the same as those for \PGF\ shadings described in~\cite[VIII -- Shadings]{tikz}: it consists of a series of colors along with a length.
+\begin{codeexample}[code only]
+rgb(0cm)=(1,0,0); rgb(1cm)=(0,1,0); rgb(2cm)=(0,0,1); gray(3cm)=(0.3); color(4cm)=(green)

+
+\noindent The single colors are separated by semicolons `|;|'. The length describes how much of the bar is occupied by the interval. Each entry has the form \meta{color model}|(|\meta{length}|)=(|\meta{arguments}|)|. The line above means that the left end of the colormap shall have RGB components $1,0,0$, indicating $100\%$ red and $0\%$ green and blue. The next entity starts at |1cm| and describes a color with $100\%$ green. Finally, |gray| specifies a color with the same value for each, R G and B and |color| accesses predefined colors.
+
+The complete length of a colormap is irrelevant: it will be mapped linearly to an internal range anyway (for efficient interpolation). The only requirement is that the left end must be at |0|.
+

+ The |scaled ticks| key is a style which simply sets scaled ticks for both, $x$ and $y$.
+
+ The value |base 10:|\meta{e} allows to adjust the algorithm manually. For example, |base 10:3| will divide every tick label by $10^3$:
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+ \begin{axis}[scaled ticks=base 10:3,

+ \end{axis}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+\noindent Here, the \texttt{sci subscript} option simply saves space.
+In general, |base 10:|$e$ will divide every tick by $10^e$. The effect
+is not limited by the ``too large or too small'' decisions mentioned
+above.
+
+ The value |real:|\meta{number} allows to divide every tick by a fixed \meta{number}.
+ For example, the following plot is physically ranged from $0$ to $2\pi$, but the tick scaling algorithm is configured to divide every tick label by $\pi$.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+ \begin{axis}[
+ xtick={0,1.5708,...,10},

+\begin{codeexample}[code only]
+\pgfkeys{/pgfplots/xtick scale label code/.code={$\cdot \pgfmathprintnumber{#1}$}}.
+\end{codeexample}
+
+A further -- not very useful -- example is shown below. Every $x$ tick label has been divided by $2$, every $y$ tick label by $3$.

+ \end{axis}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+
+ Unfortunately, \meta{number} can't be evaluated with \PGF's math parser (yet) to maintain the full data range accepted by \PGFPlots.
+
+ The last option, |scaled ticks=manual:|\marg{text}\marg{tick scale code} allows even more customization. It allows \emph{full control} over the displayed scaling label \emph{and} the scaling code: \marg{text} is used as-is inside of the tick scaling label while \marg{tick scale code} is supposed to be a one-argument-macro which scales each tick. Example:
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\begin{axis}[
+ % warning: the '%' signs are necessary (?)
+ scaled y ticks=manual:{$+65\,535$}{%
+ \pgfmathfloatcreate{1}{6.5535}{4}%

+ (15, 65537)
+ (30, 65537)
+};
+\end{axis}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+\noindent The example uses |$+65\,535$| as tick scale label content. Furthermore, it defines the customized tick label formula $y - (+6.5535\cdot 10^4) = y - 65535$ to generate $y$ tick labels.
+
+The \marg{text} can be arbitrary. It is completely in user control. The second argument, \marg{tick scale code} is supposed to be a one-argument-macro in which |#1| is the current tick position in floating point representation. The macro is expected to assign |\pgfmathresult| (also in floating point representation). The \PGF\ manual~\cite{tikz} contains detailed documentation about its math engine (including floating point\footnote{However, that particular stuff is newer than \PGF\ $2.00$. At the time of this writing, it is only available as (public) CVS version.}).
+
+This feature may also be used do transform coordinates in case they can't be processed with \PGFPlots: transform them and supply a proper tick scaling method such that tick labels represent the original range.
+
+If \marg{text} is empty, the tick scale label won't be drawn (and no space will be occupied).

+\item[Bounding box restrictions] Bounding box restrictions can be realized with several methods of \PGF:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item The |overlay| option,
+ \item The |pgfinterruptboundingbox| environment,
+ \item The |\useasboundingbox| path.
+\end{enumerate}
+\begin{key}{/tikz/overlay}
+\index{Bounding Box Control!Excluding Image Parts}
+ A special key of \PGF\ which disables bounding box updates for (parts of) the image. The effect is that those parts are an ``overlay'' over the document.
+
+ For \PGFPlots, |overlay| can be useful to position legends or other axis descriptions outside of the axis~-- without affecting its size (and without affecting alignment).
+
+For example, one may want to include only certain parts of the axis into the final bounding box. This would allow horizontal alignment (centering):
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}%
+ \begin{axis}[
+ title=A title,
+ ylabel style={overlay},

+

-\section{Upgrade remarks}
-This release provides a lot of improvements which can be found in all detail in \texttt{ChangeLog} for interested readers. However, some attention is useful for upgrades, which does especially affect style options: although |\tikzstyle| is still supported, you should replace any occurance of |\tikzstyle| with |\pgfplotsset{|\meta{style name}|/.style={|\meta{key-value-list}|}}| or the associated |.append style| variant. See section~\ref{sec:styles} for more detail.

+
+\subsection{Upgrade remarks}
+This release provides a lot of improvements which can be found in all detail in \texttt{ChangeLog} for interested readers. However, some attention is useful with respect to the following changes:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Due to a small math bug in \PGF\ $2.00$: you \emph{can't} write `|-x^2|' -- use `|0-x^2|' instead. The same holds for
+ `|exp(-x^2)|' -- use `|exp(0-x^2)|' instead.
+
+ \item Starting with \PGFPlots\ $1.1$, |\tizkstyle| should \emph{no longer be used} to set \PGFPlots\ options.
+
+ Although |\tikzstyle| is still supported for some older \PGFPlots\ options, you should replace any occurance of |\tikzstyle| with |\pgfplotsset{|\meta{style name}|/.style={|\meta{key-value-list}|}}| or the associated |.append style| variant. See section~\ref{sec:styles} for more detail.
+\end{enumerate}
+I apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes.
-\section{Acknowledgements}
+This library requires at least \PGF\ version $2.00$. At the time of this writing, many \TeX-distributions still contain the older \PGF\ version $1.18$, so it may be necessary to install a recent \PGF\ prior to using \PGFPlots.
+
+\subsection{The Team}
+\PGFPlots\ has been written by Christian Feuersänger and Pascal Wolkotte as a spare time project. We hope it is useful and provides valueable plots.
+
+\subsection{Acknowledgements}
I thank God for all hours of enjoyed programming. I thank Pascal Wolkotte, author of package |pgfgraph|, who joined development and contributed code for axis lines and tick alignment. Furthermore, I thank Dr.~Schweitzer for many fruitful discussions and Dr.~Meine for his ideas and suggestions.
Last but not least, I thank Till Tantau and Mark Wibrow for their excellent graphics (and more) package \PGF\ and \Tikz\ which is the base of \PGFPlots.

\section{Introduction}
\PGFPlotstable\ is a lightweight sub-package of \PGFPlots\ which employs its table input methods and the number formatting techniques to convert tab-separated tables into tabulars.
-Its input is a text file containing space separated rows, possibly starting with column names. Its output is a \LaTeX\ tabular\footnote{Please see the remarks in section~\ref{sec:pgfplotstable:context} for plain \TeX\ and Con\TeX t.} which contains selected columns of the text table, rounded to the desired precision, printed in the desired number format (fixed point, integer, scientific etc).

-\section{Text table input format}
-\PGFPlotstable\ works with plain text file tables in which entries (``cells'') are separated by a separation character. The initial separation character is ``white space'' which means ``at least one space or tab''. Those tables can have a header line which contains column names and most other columns typically contain numerical data.

-\section{Determining cell contents}
-The conversion from an unprocessed input table to a final typesetted |tabular| code uses three stages for every cell,
-\begin{enumerate}
- \item Preprocessing,
- \item Typesetting,
- \item Postprocessing.
-\end{enumerate}
-The main idea is to select one typesetting algorithm (for example ``format my numbers with the configured number style''). This algorithm usually doesn't need to be changed. Fine tuning can then be done using zero, one or more preprocessors and postprocessors. Preprocessing can mean to select only particular rows or to apply some sort of operation before the typesetting algorithm sees the content. Postprocessing means to apply fine-tuning to the resulting \TeX\ output -- for example to deal with empty cells or to insert unit suffixes or modify fonts for single cells.
-
-\subsection{Typesetting cells}
-\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/assign cell content}
- Allows to redefine the algorithm which assigns cell contents. The argument |#1| is the (unformatted) contents of the input table.
-
- The resulting output needs to be written to |/pgfplots/table/@cell content|.
-
- Please note that you may need special attention for |#1=|\marg{}, i.e. the empty string. This may happen if a column has less rows than the first column. \PGFPlotstable\ will balance columns automatically in this case, inserting enough empty cells to match the number of rows of the first column.
-
- Please note further that if any column has more entries than the first column, these entries will be skipped and a warning message will be issued into the log file.
-
- This key is evaluated inside of a local \TeX\ group, so any local macro assignments will be cleared afterwards.
-\end{codekey}
-
-\begin{key}{/pgfplots/table/assign cell content as number}
- This here is the default implementation of |assign cell contents|.
-
- It invokes |\pgfmathprintnumberto| and writes the result into |@cell content|.
-\end{key}
-
-\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/string type}
- A style which redefines |assign cell contents| to simply return the ``raw'' input data, that means as text column. This assumes input tables with valid \LaTeX\ content (verbatim printing is not supported).
-\end{stylekey}
-
-
-\subsection{Preprocessing cells}
-\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/preproc cell content}
- Allows to \emph{modify} the contents of cells \emph{before} |assign cell contents| is called.
-
- The semantics is as follows: before the preprocessor, |@cell content| contains the raw input data (or, maybe, the result of another preprocessor call). After the preprocessor, |@cell content| is filled with a -- possibly modified -- value. The resulting value is then used as input to |assign cell contents|.
-
- In the default settings, |assign cell contents| expects numerical input. So, the preprocessor is expected to produce numerical output.
-
- It is possible to provide multiple preprocessor directives using |.append code| or |.append style| key handlers.
-
- In case you don't want (or need) stackable preprocessors, you can also use `|#1|' to get the raw input datum as it is found in the file.
-\end{codekey}
-
-\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/multiply -1}
- Appends code to current |preproc cell content| value which multiplies every cell with $-1$.
-\begin{codeexample}[]
-\pgfplotstableset{
- columns={dof,error2,slopes2},
- columns/error2/.style={sci,sci zerofill},
- columns/slopes2/.style={dec sep align,empty cells with={\ensuremath{-}}},

- {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
-\end{codeexample}
-\end{stylekey}
-
-\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/row predicate}
- A boolean predicate which allows to select particular rows of the input table. The argument |#1| contains the current row's index (starting with~$0$, not counting comment lines or column names).
-
- The return value is assigned to the \TeX-if |\ifpgfplotstableuserow|. If the boolean is not changed, the return value is true.
-\begin{codeexample}[narrow]
-% requires \usepackage{booktabs}
-\pgfplotstabletypesetfile[
- every head row/.style={
- before row=\toprule,after row=\midrule},
- every last row/.style={
- after row=\bottomrule},
- row predicate/.code={%
- \ifnum#1>4\relax
- \ifnum#1<8\relax
- \pgfplotstableuserowfalse
- \fi
- \fi}
-]
- {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
-\end{codeexample}
- Please note that |row predicate| is applied \emph{before} any other option which affects row appearance. It is evaluated before |assign cell contents|. For example, the even/odd row styles refer to those rows for which the predicate returns |true|. In fact, you can use |row predicate| to truncate the complete table before it as actually processed.
-
- During |row predicate|, the macro |\pgfplotstablerows| contains the total number of \emph{input} rows.
-
- Furthermore, |row predicate| applies only to the typeset routines, not the read methods. If you want to plot only selected table entries with |\addplot table|, use the \PGFPlots\ coordinate filter options.
-\end{codekey}
-
-\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/skip rows between index=\marg{begin}\marg{end}}
- A style which appends an |row predicate| which discards selected rows. The selection is done by index where indexing starts with~$0$. Every row with index $\meta{begin} \le i < \meta{end}$ will be skipped.
-\begin{codeexample}[narrow]
-% requires \usepackage{booktabs}
-\pgfplotstabletypesetfile[

- skip rows between index={2}{4},
- skip rows between index={7}{9}

-\end{stylekey}
-
-\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/select equal part entry of=\marg{part no}\marg{part count}}
- A style which overwrites |row predicate| with a subset selection predicate. The idea is to split the current column into \marg{part count} equally sized parts and select only \marg{part no}.
-
- This can be used to simulate multicolumn tables.
-\begin{codeexample}[]

-\subsection{Postprocessing cells}
-\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/postproc cell content}
- Allows to \emph{modify} assigned cell content \emph{after} it has been assigned, possibly content-dependend. Ideas could be to draw negative numbers in red, typeset single entries in bold face or insert replacement text.
-
- This key is evaluated \emph{after} |assign cell content|. Its semantics is to modify an existing |@cell content| value.
-
- There may be more than one |postproc cell content| command, if you use |.append code| or |.append style| to define them:
-\begin{codeexample}[]
-% requires \usepackage{eurosym}
-\pgfplotstabletypesetfile[
- column type=r,
- columns={dof,info},
- columns/info/.style={
- postproc cell content/.append style={
- /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={$\bf}{$}},
- postproc cell content/.append style={
- /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={}{\EUR{}}}
- }]
- {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
-\end{codeexample}
- The code above modifies |@cell content| successively. First, ``|$\bf ... $|'' is inserted, then ``|...\EUR|''. It should be noted that |pgfkeys| handles |.style| and |.code| in (quasi) the same way -- both are simple code keys and can be used as such. You can combine both with |.append style| and |.append code|. Please refer to~\cite[section about pgfkeys]{tikz} for details.
-
- As in |assign cell contents|, the code can evaluate helper macros like |\pgfplotstablerow| to change only particular entries. Furthermore, the argument ``|#1|'' expands to the \emph{unformatted} input argument which was found in the input table. This allows complete context based formatting options. Please remember that empty strings may appear due to column balancing -- introduce special treatment if necessary.
-
- There is one special case which occurs if |@cell content| itsself contains the cell separation character `|&|'. In this case, |postproc cell contents| is invoked \emph{separately} for each part before and after the ampersand and the ampersand is inserted afterwards. This allows compatibility with special styles which create artificial columns in the output (which is allowed, see |dec sep align|). To allow separate treatment of each part, you can use the macro |\pgfplotstablepartno|. It is defined only during the evaluation of |postproc cell content| and it evaluates to the current part index (starting with~$0$). If there is no ampersand in your text, the value will always be~$0$.
-
- This key is evaluated inside of a local \TeX\ group, so any local macro assignments will be cleared afterwards.
-
- The following example can be used to insert a dash, $-$, in a slope column:
-\begin{codeexample}[]
-\pgfplotstableset{
- create on use/slopes1/.style=
- {create col/gradient loglog={dof}{error1}}}
-
-\pgfplotstabletypesetfile[

- \pgfkeyssetvalue{/pgfplots/table/@cell content}{\ensuremath{-}}%
- \fi
- }%
- }]
- {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
-\end{codeexample}
-Since this may be useful in a more general context, it is available as |empty cells with| style.
-\end{codekey}
-
-\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/empty cells with=\marg{replacement}}
- Appends code to |postproc cell content| which replaces any empty cell with \marg{replacement}.
-
- If |dec sep align| is active, the replacement will be inserted only for the part before the decimal separator.
-\end{stylekey}

-\section{Changing tables}
-After tables have been loaded from disk, it is possible to change their contents. The methods are limited up to now and they reflect mostly what I needed in my applications. Nevertheless, the approaches are quite general and can be customized.
+
+
+\section{Fine Tuning of Loaded Data}
+The conversion from an unprocessed input table to a final typesetted |tabular| code uses four stages for every cell,
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Loading the table,
+ \item Preprocessing,
+ \item Typesetting,
+ \item Postprocessing.
+\end{enumerate}
+The main idea is to select one typesetting algorithm (for example ``format my numbers with the configured number style''). This algorithm usually doesn't need to be changed. Fine tuning can then be done using zero, one or more preprocessors and postprocessors. Preprocessing can mean to select only particular rows or to apply some sort of operation before the typesetting algorithm sees the content. Postprocessing means to apply fine-tuning to the resulting \TeX\ output -- for example to deal with empty cells or to insert unit suffixes or modify fonts for single cells.
+
+\subsection{Loading the table}
+This first step to typeset a table involves the obvious input operations. Furthermore, the ``new column creation'' operations explained in section~\ref{pgfplotstable:createcol} are processed at this time. The table data is read (or acquired) as already explained earlier in this manual. Then, if columns are missing, column alias and |create on use| specifications will be processed as part of the loading procedure. See section~\ref{pgfplotstable:createcol} for details about column creation.
+
+\subsection{Typesetting Cell Content}
+Typesetting cells means to take their value and ``do something''. In many cases, this involves number formatting routines. For example, the ``raw'' input data |12.56| might become |1.235| |\cdot| |10^1|. The result of this stage is no longer useful for content-based computations. The typesetting step follows the preprocessing step.
+
+\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/assign cell content}
+ Allows to redefine the algorithm which assigns cell contents. The argument |#1| is the (unformatted) contents of the input table.
+
+ The resulting output needs to be written to |/pgfplots/table/@cell content|.
+
+ Please note that you may need special attention for |#1=|\marg{}, i.e. the empty string. This may happen if a column has less rows than the first column. \PGFPlotstable\ will balance columns automatically in this case, inserting enough empty cells to match the number of rows of the first column.
+
+ Please note further that if any column has more entries than the first column, these entries will be skipped and a warning message will be issued into the log file.
+
+ This key is evaluated inside of a local \TeX\ group, so any local macro assignments will be cleared afterwards.
+\end{codekey}
+
+\begin{key}{/pgfplots/table/assign cell content as number}
+ This here is the default implementation of |assign cell contents|.
+
+ It invokes |\pgfmathprintnumberto| and writes the result into |@cell content|.
+\end{key}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/string type}
+ A style which redefines |assign cell contents| to simply return the ``raw'' input data, that means as text column. This assumes input tables with valid \LaTeX\ content (verbatim printing is not supported).
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/date type=\marg{date format}}% (initially \year-\month-\day)}
+ A style which expects ISO dates of the form |YYYY-MM-DD| in each cell and produces pretty-printed strings on output. The output format is given as \marg{date format}. Inside of \marg{date format}, several macros which are explained below can be used.
+\begin{codeexample}[]

+ columns/date/.style={date type={\monthname\ \year}}

+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{command}{\year}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the year as number (like |2008|).
+\end{command}
+\begin{command}{\month}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the month as number, starting with~$1$ (like |1|).
+\end{command}

+\end{command}
+\begin{command}{\day}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the day as number (like |31|).
+\end{command}
+\begin{command}{\weekday}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the weekday number ($0$ for Monday, $1$ for Tuesday etc.).
+\end{command}
+\begin{command}{\weekdayname}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the weekday's name in the current language (like |Wednesday|).
+ See below for how to change the language.

+\begin{command}{\weekdayshortname}
+ Inside of \marg{date format}, this macro expands to the weekday's short name in the current language (like |Wed|).
+ See below for how to change the language.
+\end{command}
+\subsubsection*{Changing the language for dates}
+The date feature is implemented using the \PGF\ calendar module. This module employs the package |translator| (if it is loaded). I don't have more detail yet, sorry. Please refer to \cite{tikz} for more details.
+
+\subsection{Preprocessing Cell Content}
+The preprocessing step allows to change cell contents \emph{before} any typesetting routine (like number formatting) has been applied. The data is available in numerical format and math operations can be applied. Furthermore, cells can be erased depending on their numerical value. The preprocess step follows the data acquisition step (``loading step''). This means in particular that you can create (or copy) columns and apply operations on them.
+
+\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/preproc cell content}
+ Allows to \emph{modify} the contents of cells \emph{before} |assign cell contents| is called.
+
+ The semantics is as follows: before the preprocessor, |@cell content| contains the raw input data (or, maybe, the result of another preprocessor call). After the preprocessor, |@cell content| is filled with a -- possibly modified -- value. The resulting value is then used as input to |assign cell contents|.
+
+ In the default settings, |assign cell contents| expects numerical input. So, the preprocessor is expected to produce numerical output.
+
+ It is possible to provide multiple preprocessor directives using |.append code| or |.append style| key handlers.
+
+ In case you don't want (or need) stackable preprocessors, you can also use `|#1|' to get the raw input datum as it is found in the file.
+\end{codekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/string replace=\marg{pattern}\marg{replacement}}
+ Appends code to the current |preproc cell content| value which replace every occurence of \marg{pattern} with \marg{replacement}. No expansion is performed during this step; \marg{pattern} must match literally.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[columns={level,dof}]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={level,dof},
+ columns/level/.style={string replace={A}{B}}, % does nothing because there is no 'A'
+ columns/dof/.style={string replace={256}{-42}}] % replace '256' with '-42'
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/clear infinite}
+ Appends code to the current |preproc cell content| value which replaces every infinite number with the empty string. This clears any cells with $\pm \infty$ and NaN.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/multiply with=\marg{real number}}
+ Appends code to the current |preproc cell content| value which multiplies every cell with \marg{real number}. Arithmetics are carried out in floating point.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/divide by=\marg{real number}}
+ Appends code to the current |preproc cell content| value which divides every cell by \marg{real number}. Arithmetics are carried out in floating point.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/sqrt}
+ Appends code to the current |preproc cell content| value which applies $\sqrt{x}$ to every non-empty cell. Arithmetics are carried out in floating point.
+
+ The following example copies the column |error1| and applies |sqrt| to the copy.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ columns={error1,sqrterror1},
+ create on use/sqrterror1/.style={create col/copy=error1},
+ columns/error1/.style={column name=$\epsilon$},
+ columns/sqrterror1/.style={sqrt,column name=$\sqrt \epsilon$},
+ sci,sci 10e,precision=3,sci zerofill
+}
+\pgfplotstabletypeset{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+ Please take a look at section~\ref{pgfplotstable:createcol} for details about |create on use|.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/multiply -1}
+ Appends code to current |preproc cell content| value which multiplies every cell with $-1$. This style does the same job as |multiply with=-1|, it is just faster because only the sign changes.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ columns={dof,error2,slopes2},
+ columns/error2/.style={sci,sci zerofill},
+ columns/slopes2/.style={dec sep align,empty cells with={\ensuremath{-}}},
+ create on use/slopes2/.style=
+ {create col/gradient loglog={dof}{error2}}}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[columns/slopes2/.append style={multiply -1}]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/row predicate}
+ A boolean predicate which allows to select particular rows of the input table. The argument |#1| contains the current row's index (starting with~$0$, not counting comment lines or column names).
+
+ The return value is assigned to the \TeX-if |\ifpgfplotstableuserow|. If the boolean is not changed, the return value is true.
+\begin{codeexample}[narrow]
+% requires \usepackage{booktabs}
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ every head row/.style={
+ before row=\toprule,after row=\midrule},
+ every last row/.style={
+ after row=\bottomrule},
+ row predicate/.code={%
+ \ifnum#1>4\relax
+ \ifnum#1<8\relax
+ \pgfplotstableuserowfalse
+ \fi
+ \fi}
+]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+ Please note that |row predicate| is applied \emph{before} any other option which affects row appearance. It is evaluated before |assign cell contents|. For example, the even/odd row styles refer to those rows for which the predicate returns |true|. In fact, you can use |row predicate| to truncate the complete table before it as actually processed.
+
+ During |row predicate|, the macro |\pgfplotstablerows| contains the total number of \emph{input} rows.
+
+ Furthermore, |row predicate| applies only to the typeset routines, not the read methods. If you want to plot only selected table entries with |\addplot table|, use the \PGFPlots\ coordinate filter options.
+\end{codekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/skip rows between index=\marg{begin}\marg{end}}
+ A style which appends an |row predicate| which discards selected rows. The selection is done by index where indexing starts with~$0$. Every row with index $\meta{begin} \le i < \meta{end}$ will be skipped.
+\begin{codeexample}[narrow]
+% requires \usepackage{booktabs}
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ every head row/.style={
+ before row=\toprule,after row=\midrule},
+ every last row/.style={
+ after row=\bottomrule},
+ skip rows between index={2}{4},
+ skip rows between index={7}{9}
+]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/select equal part entry of=\marg{part no}\marg{part count}}
+ A style which overwrites |row predicate| with a subset selection predicate. The idea is to split the current column into \marg{part count} equally sized parts and select only \marg{part no}.
+
+ This can be used to simulate multicolumn tables.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+% requires \usepackage{booktabs}
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ every head row/.style={before row=\toprule,after row=\midrule},
+ every last row/.style={after row=\bottomrule}}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[string type]{pgfplotstable.example2.dat}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ display columns/0/.style={select equal part entry of={0}{2},string type},
+ display columns/1/.style={select equal part entry of={0}{2},string type},
+ display columns/2/.style={select equal part entry of={1}{2},string type},
+ display columns/3/.style={select equal part entry of={1}{2},string type},
+ columns={A,B,A,B}
+]
+ {pgfplotstable.example2.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+ The example above shows the original file as-is on the left side. The right side shows columns A,B,A,B~-- but only half of the elements are shown, selected by indices \#0 or \#1 of \#2. The parts are equally large, up to a remainder.
+
+ If the available number of rows is not dividable by \marg{part count}, the remaining entries are distributed equally among the first parts.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+
+\subsection{Postprocessing Cell Content}
+The postprocessing step is applied after the typesetting stage, that means it can't access the original input data. However, it can apply final formatting instructions which are not content based.
+
+\begin{codekey}{/pgfplots/table/postproc cell content}
+ Allows to \emph{modify} assigned cell content \emph{after} it has been assigned, possibly content-dependend. Ideas could be to draw negative numbers in red, typeset single entries in bold face or insert replacement text.
+
+ This key is evaluated \emph{after} |assign cell content|. Its semantics is to modify an existing |@cell content| value.
+
+ There may be more than one |postproc cell content| command, if you use |.append code| or |.append style| to define them:
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+% requires \usepackage{eurosym}
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ column type=r,
+ columns={dof,info},
+ columns/info/.style={
+ postproc cell content/.append style={
+ /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={$\bf}{$}},
+ postproc cell content/.append style={
+ /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={}{\EUR{}}}
+ }]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+ The code above modifies |@cell content| successively. First, ``|$\bf ... $|'' is inserted, then ``|...\EUR|''. It should be noted that |pgfkeys| handles |.style| and |.code| in (quasi) the same way -- both are simple code keys and can be used as such. You can combine both with |.append style| and |.append code|. Please refer to~\cite[section about pgfkeys]{tikz} for details.
+
+ As in |assign cell contents|, the code can evaluate helper macros like |\pgfplotstablerow| to change only particular entries. Furthermore, the argument ``|#1|'' expands to the \emph{unformatted} input argument which was found in the input table. This allows complete context based formatting options. Please remember that empty strings may appear due to column balancing -- introduce special treatment if necessary.
+
+ There is one special case which occurs if |@cell content| itsself contains the cell separation character `|&|'. In this case, |postproc cell contents| is invoked \emph{separately} for each part before and after the ampersand and the ampersand is inserted afterwards. This allows compatibility with special styles which create artificial columns in the output (which is allowed, see |dec sep align|). To allow separate treatment of each part, you can use the macro |\pgfplotstablepartno|. It is defined only during the evaluation of |postproc cell content| and it evaluates to the current part index (starting with~$0$). If there is no ampersand in your text, the value will always be~$0$.
+
+ This key is evaluated inside of a local \TeX\ group, so any local macro assignments will be cleared afterwards.
+
+ The following example can be used to insert a dash, $-$, in a slope column:
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/slopes1/.style=
+ {create col/gradient loglog={dof}{error1}}}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={dof,error1,slopes1},
+ columns/error1/.style={sci,sci zerofill},
+ columns/slopes1/.style={
+ postproc cell content/.append code={%
+ \ifnum\pgfplotstablerow=0
+ \pgfkeyssetvalue{/pgfplots/table/@cell content}{\ensuremath{-}}%
+ \fi
+ }%
+ }]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+Since this may be useful in a more general context, it is available as |empty cells with| style.
+\end{codekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/empty cells with=\marg{replacement}}
+ Appends code to |postproc cell content| which replaces any empty cell with \marg{replacement}.
+
+ If |dec sep align| is active, the replacement will be inserted only for the part before the decimal separator.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/set content=\marg{content}}
+ A style which redefines |postproc cell contents| to always return the value \marg{content}.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+
+\section{Generating Data in New Tables or Columns}
+\label{pgfplotstable:createcol}
+It is possible to create new tables from scratch or to change tables after they have been loaded from disk.
+
+\subsection{Creating New Tables From Scratch}

+ Creates a new table from scratch.

+
+ Furthermore, there must be |create on use| statements (see the next subsection) for every
+ column which shall be generated. Columns are generated
+ independently, in the order of appearance in |columns|.
+
+ The table will contain exactly \marg{row count} rows. If \marg{row count} is an |\pgfplotstablegetrowsof| statement, that statement will be executed and the resulting number of rows be used. Otherwise, \marg{row count} will be evaluated as number.

+\subsubsection{Acquiring Data Somewhere}
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/set=\marg{value}}
+ A style for use in column creation context which creates a new column and writes \marg{value} into each new cell. The value is written as string (verbatim).
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/my new col/.style={create col/set={--empty--}},
+ columns/my new col/.style={string type}
+}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={level,my new col},
+]{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/set list=\marg{comma-separated-list}}
+ A style for use in column creation context which creates a new column consisting of the entries in \marg{comma-separated-list}. The value is written as string (verbatim).
+
+ The \marg{comma-separated-list} is processed via \Tikz's |\foreach| command, that means you can use |...| expressions to provide number (or character) ranges.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/my new col/.style={
+ create col/set list={A,B,C,4,50,55,...,100}},
+ columns/my new col/.style={string type}
+}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={level,my new col},
+]{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \noindent The new column will be padded or truncated to the required number of rows. If the list does not contain enough elements, empty cells will be produced.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/copy=\marg{column name}}
+ A style for use in column creation context which simply copies the existing column \marg{column name}.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/new/.style={create col/copy={level}}
+}
+
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={level,new},
+ columns/new/.style={column name=Copy of level}
+]{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/copy column from table=\marg{file name or \textbackslash macro}\marg{column name}}
+ A style for use in column creation context which creates a new column consisting of the entries in \marg{column name} of the provided table. The argument may be either a file name or an already loaded table (i.e. a \meta{\textbackslash macro} as returned by |\pgfplotstableread|).
+
+ You can use this style, possibly combined with |\pgfplotstablenew|, to merge one common sort of column from different tables into one large table.
+
+ The cell values are written as string (verbatim).
+
+ \noindent The new column will be padded or truncated to the required number of rows. If the list does not contain enough elements, empty cells will be produced.
+\end{stylekey}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Mathematical Operations}
+
+\begin{key}{/pgf/fpu=\marg{true,false}}
+\index{Precision}
+ Before we start to describe the column generation methods, one word about the math library. The core is always the \PGF\ math engine written by Mark Wibrow and Till Tantau. However, this engine has been written to produce graphics and is not suitable for scientific computing.
+
+ I added a high-precision floating point library to \PGF\ which will be part of releases newer than \PGF\ $2.00$. It offers the full range of IEEE double precision computing in \TeX. This FPU is also part of \PGFPlotstable, and it is activated by default for |create col/expr| and all other predefined mathematical methods.
+
+ The FPU won't be active for newly defined numerical styles. If you want to add own routines or styles, you will need to use
+\begin{codeexample}[code only]
+\pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=true}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \noindent in order to activate the extended precision. The standard math parser is limited to fixed point numbers in the range $\pm 16384.00000$.
+\end{key}
+
\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/expr=\marg{math expression}}
A style for use in |\pgfplotstablecreatecol| which uses \marg{math expression} to assign contents for the new column.
\begin{codeexample}[]
-\pgfplotstableread{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}\table
-\pgfplotstablecreatecol[
- create col/expr={\thisrow{level}*2}]
- {new}\table
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/new/.style={
+ create col/expr={\thisrow{level}*2}}
+}
\pgfplotstabletypeset[
columns={level,new},
columns/new/.style={column name=$2\cdot $level}
-]\table
+]{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
\end{codeexample}
The macros |\thisrow|\marg{col name} and |\nextrow|\marg{col name} can be used to use values of the existing table.
Please see |\pgfplotstablecreatecol| for more information.
- \paragraph{Attention:} Currently, |expr| uses the math parser of \PGF. Although very powerful, it has never been intended for scientific applications. Its $5.5$ fixed point arithmetic has its limitations.
+ \paragraph{Accumulated columns:} The |expr| style initialises |\pgfmathaccuma| to |0| before its first column. Whenever it computes a new column value, it redefines |\pgfmathaccuma| to be the result. That means you can use |\pgfmathaccuma| inside of \marg{math expression} to accumulate columns. See |create col/expr accum| for more details.
+
+ \paragraph{About the precision and number range:}\index{Precision}\index{Floating Point Unit} Starting with version 1.2, |expr| uses a floating point unit. The FPU provides the full data range of scientific computing with a relative precision between $10^{-4}$ and $10^{-6}$. The |/pgf/fpu| key provides some more details.
+
+ \paragraph{Accepted operations:} The math parser of \PGF, combined with the FPU, provides the following function and operators:
+
+ |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |abs|, |round|, |floor|, |mod|, |<|, |>|, |max|, |min|, |sin|, |cos|, |tan|, |deg| (conversion from radians to degrees), |rad| (conversion from degrees to radians), |atan|, |asin|, |acos|, |cot|, |sec|, |cosec|, |exp|, |ln|, |sqrt|, the constanst |pi| and |e|, |^| (power operation), |factorial|\footnote{Starting with \PGF\ versions newer than $2.00$, you can use the postfix operator \texttt{!} instead of \texttt{factorial}.}, |rand| (random between $-1$ and $1$), |rnd| (random between $0$ and $1$), number format conversions |hex|, |Hex|, |oct|, |bin| and some more. The math parser has been written by Mark Wibrow and Till Tantau~\cite{tikz}, the FPU routines have been developed as part of \PGFPlots. The documentation for both parts can be found in~\cite{tikz}. \textbf{Attention:} Trigonometric functions work with degrees, not with radians!
+
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/expr accum=\marg{math expression}\marg{accum initial}}
+ A variant of |create col/expr| which also allows to define the initial value of |\pgfmathaccuma|. The case \marg{accum initial}=|0| is \emph{equivalent} to |expr=|\marg{math expression}.
- There is limited support for float point arithmetics, but that is far from complete and every elementary operation needs to be programmed by hand. Some of the following numerical styles employ these routines, they have been included into the \PGF\ math library (but not into the parser).
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstableset{
+ create on use/new/.style={
+ create col/expr={\pgfmathaccuma + \thisrow{level}}},
+ create on use/new2/.style={
+ create col/expr accum={\pgfmathaccuma - \thisrow{level}}{100}}
+}
- Furthermore, you can create new columns using the |fp| package which allows precise fixed point arithmetics.
+\pgfplotstabletypeset[
+ columns={level,new,new2},
+ columns/new/.style={column name=$\sum$level},
+ columns/new2/.style={column name=$\prod$level}
+]{pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+The example creates two columns: the |new| column is just the sum of each value in the \meta{level} column (it employs the default |\pgfmathaccuma=0|). The |new2| column initialises |\pgfmathaccuma=100| and then successively subtracts the value of \meta{level}.

-\section{Plain \TeX\ and Con\TeX t support}
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/function graph cut y=\marg{cut value}\marg{common options}\marg{one key-value set for each plot}}
+ A specialized style for use in |create on use| statements which computes cuts of (one or more) discrete plots $y(x_1), \dotsc, y(x_N)$ with a fixed \marg{cut value}. The $x_i$ are written into the table's cells.
+
+ In a cost--accuracy plot, this feature allows to extract the cost for fixed accuracy. The dual feature with |cut x| allows to compute the accuracy for fixed cost.

+
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\begin{loglogaxis}
+ \addplot table[x=Basis,y=L2] {plotdata/newexperiment1.dat};
+ \addplot table[x=Basis,y=L2] {plotdata/newexperiment2.dat};
+ \draw[blue!30!white] (axis cs:1,2.5e-4) -- (axis cs:1e5,2.5e-4);
+ \node[pin=-90:{$x=53.66$}] at (axis cs:53.66,2.5e-4) {};
+ \node[pin=45:{$x=601.83$}] at (axis cs:601.83,2.5e-4) {};
+\end{loglogaxis}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ In the example above, we are searching for $x_1$ and $x_2$ such that $f_1(x_1) = \pgfmathprintnumber{2.5e-4}$ and $f_2(x_2) =\pgfmathprintnumber{2.5e-4}$. On the left is the automatically computed result. On the right is a problem illustration with proper annotation.
+ The \marg{cut value} is set to |2.5e-4|. The \marg{common options} contain the problem setup; in our case logarithmic scales and column names. The third argument is a comma-separated-list. Each element $i$ is a set of keys describing how to get $f_i(\cdot)$.
+
+ During both, \marg{common options} and the key sets, the following keys can be used:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item |table|: either a file name or an already loaded table where to get the data points,
+ \item |x|: the column name of the $x$ axis,
+ \item |y|: the column name of the $y$ axis.
+ \end{itemize}
+ The keys |xmode| and |ymode| can take either |log| or |linear|. All mentioned keys have the common key path
+
+ \textcolor{red!75!black}{\texttt{/pgfplots/table/create col/function graph cut/}}.
+\end{stylekey}
+\begin{stylekey}{/pgfplots/table/create col/function graph cut x=\marg{cut value}\marg{common options}\marg{one key-value set for each plot}}

+\end{stylekey}
+
+\section{Miscellaneous}
+\subsection{Writing (Modified) Tables To Disk}
+\begin{key}{/pgfplots/table/outfile=\marg{file name} (initially empty)}
+ Writes the completely processed table as \TeX\ file to \marg{file name}. This key is described in all detail on page~\pageref{page:outfile}.
+\end{key}
+
+\begin{command}{\pgfplotstablesave\oarg{options}\marg{\textbackslash macro or input file name}\marg{output file name}}
+ This command takes a table and writes it to a new data file (without performing any typesetting).
+
+ If the first argument is a file name, that file is loaded first.
+
+ This command simply invokes |\pgfplotstabletypeset| with cleared output parameters. That means any of the column creation methods apply here as well, including any postprocessing steps (without the final typesetting).
+
+ |\pgfplotstablesave| uses the keys |reset styles| and |disable rowcol styles| to clear any typesetting related options. Furthermore, it sets |string type| to allow verbatim output.
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\pgfplotstablesave[
+ create on use/postproc1/.style={create col/dyadic refinement rate=error1},
+ columns={dof,error1,postproc1}
+]
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.dat}
+ {pgfplotstable.example1.out.dat}
+\end{codeexample}
+Now, |pgfplotstable.example1.out.dat| is
+\lstinputlisting[basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize,tabsize=8]{pgfplotstable.example1.out.dat}
+
+You can use the |col sep| key inside of \meta{options} to define a column separator for the output file. In case you need a different input column separator, use |in col sep| instead of |col sep|.
+
+\paragraph{Remarks}
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item
+Empty cells will be filled with |{}| if |col sep=space|. Use the |empty cells with| style to change that.
+ \item Use |disable rowcol styles=false| inside of \meta{options} if you need to change column/row based styles.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{command}
+
+\subsection{Miscellaneous Keys}
+\begin{key}{/pgfplots/table/disable rowcol styles=\mchoice{true,false} (initially false)}
+ Set this to |true| if |\pgfplotstabletypeset| shall \emph{not} set any styles which apply only to specific columns or only to specific rows.
+
+ This disables the styles
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item |columns/|\meta{column name},
+ \item |display columns/|\meta{column index},
+ \item |every col no |\meta{column index},
+ \item |every row no |\meta{row index}.
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{key}
+
+\begin{key}{/pgfplots/table/reset styles}
+ Resets all table typesetting styles which do not explicitly depend on column or row names and indices. The affected styles are
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item |every table|,
+ \item |every even row|, |every odd row|, |every even column|, |every odd column|,
+ \item |every first column|, |every last column|, |every first row|, |every last row|,
+ \item |every head row|.
+ \end{itemize}
+ In case you want to reset all, you should also consider the key |disable rowcol styles|.
+\end{key}
+
+\subsection{Plain \TeX\ and Con\TeX t support}
\label{sec:pgfplotstable:context}
The table code generator is initialised to produce \LaTeX\ |tabular| environments. However, it only relies on~`|&|' being the column separator and~`|\\|' the row terminator. The |column type| feature is more or less specific to |tabular|, but you can disable it completely. Replace |begin table| and |end table| with appropriate \TeX- or Con\TeX t commands to change it. If you have useful default styles (or bug reports), let me know.

+-------------------------------------------------------------
+BUGS / FIXES
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
++ something with the table package appears to be buggy!?
+
++ the plot table[] search path is not good - it should include /pgfplots
+
+- introduce backwards compatibility with old pgfmathfloat.code.tex file
+ [ not interesting for pgfplots 1.2, only for pgfplots 1.1 !]
+
++ there is a bug related with empty axes - I suppose in conjunction with the
+ tickmin/max feature (it won't be reset properly)
+
+- the arguments to plot file[#1] and plot table[#1] are not consistent with
+ rest. They need to be treated as behavior options (maybe in a different key
+ path).
+
+
+- there is a space too much in some behavior messages (occured in test
+ processing)
+
+X introduce backwards compatibility with old pgfmathfloat.code.tex file
+
+- the pgf math parser has wrong precedence for '-' prefix op:
+ exp(-x^2) is wrong.
+
+- the auto-generated tick labels for non-unit-distance log axes could be better.
+
++ verify that the domain key always accepts the extended data range
+
++ I observed problems with opacity set for just one plot which was used for
+ every plot in the axes!?
+
+
++ the stacked plots impl is not yet in logical coords - that means it
+ won't work with non-standard unit vectors!
+
+- fix version stuff in package header
+- introduce CVS Header Variables in every sourcefile
+
++ The floating point math routines should be put into a separate library.
+ Provide compatibility support for that in pgfplots!
+
++ empty plots cause bugs.
++ empty plots and the named nodes may not work correctly -> check that
+
++ newlines in plot coordinates cause an error.
+ + provide sanity checking and correct error messages!
+
++ 'domain' can't be used to increase the data range, even when combined with fp.
++ huge 'domain' arguments for 'plot function' lead to an 'dimension too large' error
+ although everything works fine
+
++ the float math methods should be affected by the fixedpoint library, but they
+ are (because the underlying pgf math routines are exchanged).
+
+X scaled ticks is not properly implemented for log axes
+ + it is not available for log axes, so that's ok
+
++ pgfplotstable and \rowcolor and 'sci sep align' in conjunction produces
+ overwritten digits! The color seems to be on top of the numbers left of the
+ sci separator.
+ -> This is caused by the left/right overhang of the colortbl package and my
+ implementation of 'sci sep align' as an extra column. That's bad.
+ -> Idea:
+ - manually overwrite \rowcolor/\columncolor/\cellcolor in a portable way such
+ that overhangs are made properly.
+ Maybe there is a macro in colortbl?
+ [fixed for \rowcolor]
+
+
++ stacked plots + error bars don't work correctly together: I need to shift the
+ error bars
+
++ error bars should be drawn on top of the plot to avoid conflicts with filling.
+
++ [xy]ticklabel pos values 'top' and 'bottom' are somewhat inconsistent with
+ the actual placement
+
++ the auto-disable-feature for logarithmic minor ticks can be overruled (of
+ minor grid lines) which should not be possible
+ -> provide a good policy how to deal with user inputs:
+ 1. draw minor tick/grids if requested
+ 2. provide error message
+
++ scatter is disabled if no default mark has been set.
+
++ filter warnings are broken because they don't output the input coordinates
+
++ tick align=center is broken since last revision. Possibly tick align=outside
+ as well.
+
++ clickable lib is broken somehow
+
++ check for clickable lib if multiple axes are in the same tikzpicture
+ -> doesn't work. Why!?
+ - I can't reproduce that bug. Maybe it is fixed in the meantime?
+
++ the case
+ ymin=629.65,
+ ymax=629.70,
+ FAILS with math errors because the affine data transformation is deactivated
+ for the automatic tick computation! Providing tick labels manually works.
+ -> FIX THAT! Ticks should be computed without this restriction (if necessary,
+ in float arithmetics)!
+
++ it is not possible to provide '[xy]mode' in styles.
+ -> ok, provided error message.
+
++ check whether there are any plots before processing something like
+ 'xtick=data' or so
+
++ the clipping of tick/grid lines is currently disabled due to the change to
+ logical coordinates and needs attention.
+
+- In 3D case axis [xyz] line != box, there is just ONE hyperplane.
+ My implementation works only if either ALL are box or ALL are 'middle'.
+
+- 3D case : which hyperplane gets tick LABELS?
+ The current implementation based on '[xzy]ticklabel pos' is not sufficient
+
+- 3D case: something fails with disabledatascaling
+
+- 3D case : grid lines work correctly, but they are not satisfactory.
+ I'd like grid lines in the background only.
+
+- 3D case : tick/grid lines are on top of the axis lines. This leads to
+ poor quality.
+
++ '\coordinate (<aname>) at (axis cs:0,0);' does NOT work;
+ '\node[name=<aname>] at ... ' DOES work.
+ -> I can't hook into the 'at' syntax; I can only override the 'name'
+ key.
+
++ check whether the \label/\ref construction requires \protect\tikz and
+ \protect\path etc. if it is placed inside of \caption...
+ -> no; it has catcode 12
+
++ check whether named nodes are still ok. Since the 'fill opacity' bugfix, these
+ may be broken...
+ maybe the scoping needs to be improved
+ -> there is still need for scopes in case 'clip markers'!
+
++ error messages if the PGF version is wrong should be added
+ -> check for \pgfkeys
+ -> I should also check whether the float routines are available!
+ Maybe they will migrate to a tikz library someday.
+
+
++ \addplot [fill opacity=...] is not scoped properly!
++ I suppose the same problem holds true for dotted line styles.
++ setting mark options to dashed also changes the legend's appearance
+
+
++ the clickable library does *not* work inside of figure environments
+
+
+
++ renormalization bug in
+ log(9.999998e-01) = 4.70201 != 0
+
+X Bug in table input: if colnames contain (some?) UTF8 characters, \csname <colname>\endcsname FAILS.
+ That means table column names can't use UTF8 characters.
+ Possible solution: for each character in <colname>, check whether it is active. If yes, change its meaning.
+ I am not sure if that's acceptable...
+
+X error recovery: it is sometimes almost impossible to find errors in
+ key-value-settings because \end{axis} or \pgfplotstabletypesetfile does not
+ is NOT the correct context.
+ -> possibly with \errorcontextlines=10?
+
++ the error message for gnuplot invocation is wrong; gnuplot should be called on
+ the '.gnuplot' file instead of the '.table' file
+
++ there are still plain TeX loops in the legend code!?
+
++ javascript stuff is incompatible with a lot of active characters,
+ for example the german package:
+ + bug in insdljs: workaround introduced.
+ + bug in my code fixed
+
+- javascript stuff does not work if the complete figure is rotated (sidewaysfigure).
+
+- javascript: incompatiblity with external library:
+ 1. filenames: \jobname contains characters with incompatible catcodes and
+ that funny insdljs package tries to assemble macros with these
+ characters.
+ -> fixed; I simply use pgfplotsJS as temporary file name.
+ 2. the images as such have corrupted forms
+ -> Can be fixed if
+ \usepackage{eforms}
+ is used BEFORE loading pgf. The reason: \begin{Form} and the shipout-hackery
+ of the pgf externalization bite each other.
+ \begin{Form} must come before the shipout hackery of pgf.
+ 3. \includegraphics does not preserve PDF forms.
- the interrupt bounding box feature should still update the data bounding box.
Otherwise, transformations may fail.

FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------
-- it would be interesting to get an high-level coordinate mapping
+- the FPU uninstall command can be assembled ONCE (globally). No need to do that
+ multiple times.
+
+- What about something like '/pgfplots/table/x expr={<math expression>}' ?
+ -> I could still use the lazy eval framework of pgfplotstable, i.e.
+ \thisrow{} commands, \pgfplotstablerow, \pgfplotstablecol etc.
+ The \prevrow and \nextrow features won't be possible (?)
+
+- improve support for multiple ordinates
+- improve support for negative axes
+
++ improve plot expression
+ + accuracy
+ + UI
+
+- it would be useful if the clipping could be disabled for certain parts of the
+ axis. Is that possible?
+ -> yes.
+ Idea: start clipping for every axis element separately! Shouldn't be
+ much more expensive than a single marker path.
+ - should work in the same way as before, there is no difference!
+ - scopes should introduce no further problems
+ - I could eliminate the nasty marker list
+
++ what about an optimized version of plot expression which does not need the
+ brace hack (\x,{sin(\x r)}) ?
+
+- allow math expressions for axis limits etc. Idea: try float parsing routine;
+ if it fails: use math parser first.
+
++ plot expression for log plots would be more valueable, if it could sample
+ points exponentially, i.e. linear between log(xmin) ... log(xmax):
+ x_i = exp( log(xmin) + i * ( log(xmax)-log(xmin) )/(N-1) )
+
+- what about a feature like 'draw[xmin=...,xmax=...] fitline between points (a)
+ (b)'?
+
+- define a 'cycle list' style which simply inserts different colors into the
+ predefined style (thus, markers are fixed, colors vary). One could also think
+ about a complementary style.
+ -> even better: I could prodive up to three different lists which can be
+ combined.
+ Example: colorlist, markerlist, linespeclist
+ -> iterate through all possible combinations!
+
+- cycle list should be implemented using an array structure. That's faster.
+
+
++ create public key alias for '/pgfplots/domain' -> '/tikz/domain'
+
+X the coordinate preparation routines should assign global registers. This would
+ deal properly with grouped '\addplot' commands and it allows several
+ optimizations in the coordinate processing (elimination of list allocations).
+
+- document 'bar interval shift' and 'bar interval width'
+
++ document line styles with arrows
+
+- think about quiver plots
+
+- interpolate missing coordinates for stacked plots.
+
+- think about a low-level contour plot interface in which PREPARED contours are
+ provided as input. The contours as such could be computed with an external
+ program (so far).
+
+- the error bar implementation is relatively inefficient. Think about something like
+ '/pgfplots/error bars/prepare drawing'
+ which sets common style keys for every error bar
+
+- think about using a combination of the visualization engine of pgf CVS and my
+ prepared-list-structure. Maybe I can adjust the list format for the current
+ plot type? I need
+ - scatter/line plots 2D
+ - meta coords
+ - quiver may need extra vectors
+ - matrix plots may need twodimensional structure
+ - error bars could be handled more consistently
+ - ...
+ -> implement a visualization class which provides methods
+ - prepare()
+ - visualize()
+ - serialize()
+ - visualizestream()
+ and provide protected pgfplots methods
+ - axis->preprocesscoordinate (filters, logs)
+ - visualizer->prepare()
+ - axis->processcoordinate()
+ - visualizer->serialize()
+ - axis->postprocesscoordinate()
+ The markers as they are implememted now don't really fit into this framework.
+ The clipping region is not really what I want here...
+ Idea: enable/disable clipping separately for each drawing command!
+
+
+- provide 'only each nth coordinate' or so as style on top of 'x filter'.
+
+- 3D axes: my axis is "heavy weighted".
+ Possible improvements:
+ - draw exactly 3 axis lines (unless one really wants the complete box).
+ - draw only one tick line per tick, in a direction which "looks well"
+ (one of the two possible directions).
+ this would also avoid double placing of tick labels in corners.
+ - attach tick labels generally at the end of tick lines. Provide a
+ distance option configuring the distance.
+ -> my idea:
+ - for "normal" orthogonal axes (i.e. view={0,0}), the tick labels
+ are positioned directly at tick positions using proper anchors.
+ - for "non-standard" axes (skewed, rotated, 3D), tick labels are placed
+ at anchor 'center'; but the 'at' position it computed by pgfplots:
+ it is positioned parallel to the surfaces 'b' axes at a predefined
+ distance.
+ - user interface: [xy]ticklabel pos in
+ {left,right,top,bottom,auto,paraxial:<distance>}
+ -> 'auto' implements the behavior above; all other choices are user
+ defined.
+ - automatically decide WHICH axis lines shall be drawn.
+ - see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EulerAngles.html
+
++ implement simply style 'scatter classes'.
+ + sanity checking feature: try if 'pgfmathfloattofixed' results in a known
+ class! -> but catch exceptions if the value is no number!
+
++ allow symbolic meta data
+
++ provide input options for 'meta' data
+ + plot file
+ + plot table
+ + plot coordinates
+ - document that stuff
+
+- I could extend the clickable library such that a click into a TABLE
+ opens a marker into one (or more) designated plots.
+
++ Optimization: normalize *internal* preprocessed stored point coordinate lists,
+ for example as 'x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x3,y2,z3,' -> I have 100% control!
+ Maybe it is even faster to re-use these lists for markers than to create a new
+ one.
+
+- I could compute maximum PGF logical coordinates which are then inserted just
+ before qpointxy
+
++ optimize the new code by re-defining \pgfqpointxy for the case of scaled
+ standard unit vectors.
+
+X perhaps I can use pdf line annotations to improve clickable lib?
+ -> no: there are right restrictions when using latex.
+
+- there is a possibility to get that \label/\ref construction to work in
+ conjunction with image externalization: I only need to write those commands
+ into a separate AUX file and make sure they will remain ... even if the
+ generating source has been externalized.
+ The same could be done for javascript features; but that also requires bounding
+ box control.
+
+
+- asymmetric error bars
+
+- Store the axis limits into the axis' node as saved macros. This would allow
+ - 'use [xy] limits of=<axis name>'
+ - access to axis limits from other macros.
+ -> provide a command
+ \pgfplotslimits{current axis}{x}{min}
+ which expands to the 'xmin' limit.
+ PROBLEM: to WHICH limit: the untransformed one? The transformed one? The
+ logarithmized one?
+ -> I can't compute exp(xmin) in log plots!
+ - Ideas:
+ - provide both, if possible. It is NOT possible for log axes.
+ - use log-limits ( possibly combined with 'logxmin=' option ?)
+ - The operation requires several operations because floats need to
+ be converted. Idea: do that only for NAMED AXES.
+ -> all user-interface macros must be expandable!
+ - I don't want to spent time for number format conversions
+ unnecessarily here!
+ - provide \pgfplotslimits and \pgfplotstransformedlimits
+ combined with simpler key-value interfaces
+ - I could also provide access to the unit lengths (they are
+ available as macro anyway)
+ - ALTERNATIVE: implement access to axis limits as a math function
+ which simply defines \pgfmathresult.
+ -> that is probably the most efficient way to do it. I only need to
+ register the new function(s) to PGF MATH.
