# Many stacked ybars side-by-side at the same coordinate

I have several ybar stacked plots and I would like to put them together in one plot.

However, since the ybars of the different plots share the same coordinates, when I put them in one plot, they just stack up into a single ybar. However, I would like to have the original stacked ybars be displayed side by side at the given coordinate (just as non-stacked ybars do).

Anybody got an idea how to do that?

• Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. – Max Aug 21 '18 at 14:33

It is very simple: use two axis environments and shift the bars a bit. If you are very picky, you need to change the unit vector ratio of one of the plots a bit.

\documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
width=8cm,
unit vector ratio=1 0.5,
symbolic x coords={a,b,c,d,e},
xtick=data,
ybar stacked,
ytick pos=left,
]
(a,3.5)
(b,0.75)
(c,4.85)
(d,3.33)
(e,7)
};
(a,2.5)
(b,1.75)
(c,1.85)
(d,2.33)
(e,1)
};
\end{axis}
\begin{axis}[ytick=\empty,
width=8cm,
unit vector ratio=1 0.5,
symbolic x coords={a,b,c,d,e},
xtick=data,
ybar stacked,
ytick pos=left,
]
(a,2.5)
(b,1.75)
(c,1.85)
(d,2.33)
(e,1)
};
