Dear Mathgroup members,
I am very cautious in claiming to have found a bug in Mathematica, but
here I am almost sure.
After loading the package
<<Graphics`Graphics`
I tried to plot a simple BarChart:
BarChart[{4,10,5,7}]
However, if I want to restrict the plot range
BarChart[{4,10,5,7}, PlotRange->{3,10}]
Mathematica does not respond with an error message, but
still plots in the range {0,10}. (However, the y-axis is not visible in
{0,3}.)
Furthermore, bar edges are visible only in the range {3,10}.
Finally, if the input list contains negative values, the bars hide the
BarLabels
which is desastrous in my application.
I am really an adherent of Mathematica, but if I am right here I have to
state that it is not possible to create publication quality BarCharts with
Mathematica. (At least not with the
Add-On function BarChart.)
Any suggestions?
