# A workaround for visualization depends on and ybar stacked [closed]

Are there any workarounds for the bug?

The "visualization depends on" function causes an error with stacked plots.

With "ybar stacked", the minimal example generates the error message

! Undefined control sequence. \pgfplots@current@point@meta ->{0Y0.0e0]},\test

I need numbers over stacked bars. These numbers must be calculated from another column.

MWE:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
ybar stacked, %this doesn't work
% ybar, % this works
% stack plots=y, % this doesn't work
visualization depends on=0.5*y \as \test
]

\addplot [nodes near coords=\test] table {
0 0
1 10
2 8
};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
