pgfplots ycomb width

Question

Is there a simple way to control the width\thickness of the strokes in the ycomb/xcomb commands proposed in pgfplots? Or should I dive into the source code to clarify?

Answer 1

The line width is a property of every single plot. So you can just add a corresponding option. Here is an example derived from the pgfplots manual.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pgfplots}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}
      \addplot+[xcomb,line width=5pt] coordinates {%
        (4,0) (1,1) (2,2) (5,3) (6,4) (1,5)
      };
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
