# Deactivate ybar to use ybar stacked

I have a template that globally sets the ybar option. However, I would like to use ybar stacked. When combining both, the output bars are shifted to the right as in the example below. How can I reset the effect of ybar without removing it from the global options?

The problem is very similar to this post, but it is the other way around.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{ybar} % global option that can not be removed
\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[ybar stacked]
\addplot coordinates {(0,1) (1,1) (2,3) (3,2) (4,1.5)};
\addplot coordinates {(0,1) (1,1) (2,3) (3,2) (4,1.5)};
\addplot coordinates {(0,1) (1,1) (2,3) (3,2) (4,1.5)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}


• Add bar shift=0pt to the axis options: \begin{axis}[ybar stacked,bar shift=0pt] – esdd Nov 22 '17 at 10:31
• Sounds like a bad plan to globally set ybar, why can't you remove it? – Torbjørn T. Nov 22 '17 at 10:40
• @TorbjørnT. Because it is a plot template that was originally only meant to be used for conventional bar plots. Now it is in use by dozens of plots and either I have to touch all of them or add a bar shift=0pt to one of them, as @esdd suggested, which is working very good for my application. – koalo Nov 22 '17 at 10:47

Add bar shift=0pt to the axis options:

\begin{axis}[ybar stacked,bar shift=0pt]


Additional remark: Set a compat immediatelly after loading pgfplots.

Code:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
