This post is building of the question posted here. When I try to get the area under the curve to show up between 100 and 3000 by using the soft clip={domain=100:3000} command, I get this plot:

enter image description here

I was offered a workaround by Rmano to use soft clip={domain=100.01:3000}. Although this may work in this case, could this cause an issue in other cases?

Here is the code masterfully modified by suggestions from Rmano:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.10}
\pgfplotsset{minor grid style={dotted,gray!50}}
\pgfplotsset{major grid style={gray!50!black}}

  • This question looks very similar: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/168469/… Dec 17, 2015 at 21:57
  • The link to the question you build upon seems to be broken. Could you fix it? Dec 17, 2015 at 23:19

    Seems a numeric instability in the soft clip option. Using 100.01 as lower bound works as expected. Hmmm....

  • @Rmano, maybe you should add that as an answer?
