Re: [Pgfplots-features] Error mark gap when mixing custom colours

[Christian F. <cfe...@go...>]

Hi Joshua,

I realized that this post is still open, sorry for the late response.

I fear the problem is due to the lacking color support regarding context 
- I believe pgf as such is quite restricted in this context.

This is clearly a bug in pgf and/or pgfplots and I can reproduce the 
shifts (although my context does not produce any mix colors at all for 
some reason).

My first guess was to define the mix colors manually outside of the 
path/plot statement. Since I am entirely unaware of the ConTeXt commands 
to mix colors, I tried to invoke the PGF low level routine which mixes 
colors by means of

\csname pgfutil@colorlet\endcsname{BlueMixedWhite}{Blue!50!White}

and used

\addplot+[BlueMixedWhite] coordinates {(1,5) +- (0,3)};

On my machine, the outcome has no spurious shift. I cannot verify the 
color as my context produces no mix colors at all (an installation 
issues for sure).

Aside from that potential workaround, I will file a bug report for 
pgfplots in my to do list.

Kind regards

Christian
