Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Thanks for this VERY useful information. It is important for users to know if today's codes will work in the future as well. 1 vote up. |

Is it possible to have back references after each chapter with a single main.bib file? I think the answer is no. If you have just one main.bib file, then from the example you've provided, in Chapter 2 you will get the page numbers 15 and 20 being back-referenced as well. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Yes this is true. We do not know what operating systems we will have in the future and then our present TeX distributions might not be installable at all. We will have to evolve with whatever the computer world has to offer us. I remember having just a couple of 3.5 inc diskettes several years ago and they sufficed in my undergraduate education. 1 vote up. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Thanks for this useful information. Yes there can always be better algorithms and some commands may be superseded by newer ones also. I am trying to keep my codes as simple as possible and rely on commands that have survived for a long time. 1 vote up. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Yes I do that with TeXLive 2008, 2010 and 2011. I created a presentation template with a presentation package but it works only in TL2008 and I never could make it work well with TL2010 and TL2011. And so I keep TL2008 on my machine also. 1vote up. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? It might not be an objectively answerable question as you put it, but it is good to know what others think. And yes, no one can say with 100% confidence what will happen in the future. People who has worked with TeX/LaTeX a long time and who is active in the field will surely have more information than I do of what's coming. But even so, I do know that the discussions here do no imply ideas that can be set in stone. It is an open discussion. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Yes I agree but we can expect that Tex/LaTeX will continue to thrive in the future unless we have another Donald Knuth who comes up with a much superior typesetting system. All of MetaPost, PStricks and PGFPLOTS have lots of documentation. The concern for me is which of them will able to process current basic commands well ahead in the future. Tex/LaTeX tools and associated tools offer a good solution as we work with plain text. So if I want to store information and carry that in the future, then this is the way to go as far I can see. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Thanks. Yes Postscript is pretty stable and I do always prefer the traditional postscript route even if I am using PGFPLOTS. PDF readers have evolved much from earlier versions and perhaps we can still witness many changes in the future. 1 vote up. |

Which plotting tool is more likely to stay stable in the basics: MetaPost, PStricks or pgfplots? Yes I have seen this option. For my post that you answered yesterday, I was then using compat=newest. |

PGFPLOTS: figure and table formatting With color = red, the graph line and the markers turn red. But the axes remain black. |

PGFPLOTS: figure and table formatting Thanks. I am using all latest versions of pgfplots and Tikz. And your code compiles fine also. Does \addplot [const plot mark right] table ... not suppose to draw horozontal lines with the points at the right of the interval? \addplot [mark=x] table... works now. And color = red is ok too. The way my code was written was not correct. 1 vote up. |

PGFPLOTS: figure and table formatting But for the table, we use a command like \pgfplotstabletypeset which is part of pgfplotstable. I thought an elegant solution existed within pgfplots itself that can make the figure and table appear together. I will leave the queries like this for now and wait for some responses. If I need to create a separate post, I shall do it then. Thanks. |

PGFPLOTS: figure and table formatting Thanks but for someone who knows pgfplots well, these should quite easy queries which will not take much space to answer. If I see that one or more queries is(are) giving problem(s) or need(s) a longer answer, then I will go for several posts. It depends on the feedback that I receive here. |
