Example code:
\usetikzlibrary{datavisualization} %\usepgflibrary{plotmarks} \begin{tikzpicture} \datavisualization[ scientific axes=clean, visualize as scatter/.list={a,b,c,d}, style sheet=cross marks, ] data [format=named] { x=4,y=8,set=a x=5,y=9,set=b x=6,y=10,set=c x=7,y=11,set=d }; \end{tikzpicture}
Workaround:
Include the PGF library plotmarks:
\usepgflibrary{plotmarks}
I documented this behaviour because I don't think that
datavisualization
should loadplotmarks
by default. TikZ is already slow enough.
