TikZpicture as newcommand with more than 10 parameters

Question

I would like to build several Pareto diagram figures using a \newcommand, like this:

\documentclass[11pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{xfp}
\definecolor{Azul}{rgb}{0.16, 0.32, 0.75}
\newcommand{\GraficoPareto}[9]{
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) rectangle (10,5);
\foreach \i/\j in {0/#6,2/#7,4/#8,6/#9,8/,10/}{
\draw (\i,2pt) -- (\i,-2pt) node[below] { \j };
}
\foreach \i in {0,1,...,5}{
\ifnum\i>0
\draw[densely dashed,gray] (-.1,\i) -- (10.1,\i) node[right] {\textcolor{black}{$\fpeval{20\i}%$}};
\else 
\node[right,gray] (Texto) at (10.1,\i) {\textcolor{black}{$\fpeval{20\i}%$}};
\fi
\node[left] (Te) at (-0.1,\i) {$\fpeval{8\i}$};
}
\fill[Azul!100!black,opacity=0.8] (0.02,0) rectangle ({2-0.02},{#15/40});
\fill[Azul!100!black,opacity=0.8] (2.02,0) rectangle ({4-0.02},{#25/40});
\fill[Azul!100!black,opacity=0.8] (4.02,0) rectangle ({6-0.02},{#35/40});
\fill[Azul!100!black,opacity=0.8] (6.02,0) rectangle ({8-0.02},{#45/40});
\fill[Azul!100!black,opacity=0.8] (8.02,0) rectangle ({10-0.02},{#55/40});
\draw[line width=3pt,orange] (1,{5(#1/50)}) -- (3,{5((#1+#2)/50)}) -- (5,{5((#1+#2+#3)/50)}) -- (7,{5((#1+#2+#3+#4)/50)}) -- (9,{5*((#1+#2+#3+#4+#5)/50)});
\node (Legendax) at (5,-1) {Soma das horas};
\node (Legenday) at (-1,2.5) {\rotatebox{90}{Frequência}};
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\begin{document}
\GraficoPareto{30}{10}{5}{3}{2}{94}{194}{294}{394}
\end{document}

Whose result is this:

However, I would like to insert more two parameters (then 11), where I can to define the final x-labels. But this does not work.

How can I define this figure using 11 parameters?

Answer 1

I suggested a list based approach. This answer is part of it. The idea is to use one single input of the newcommand syntax as broad as possible. Your original idea is not extendable (you cannot add more and more inputs as you need), this is a major flaw since I may guess you want to extend (expand) for more and more data.

This answer is based on:

1. Pareto diagram in LaTeX
2. Draw Pareto chart with pgfplots?
3. https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfplots
4. pgfplots: two axis for one dataset e.g. °C and °F
5. Distance between bars with pgfplot

I created a newcommand with two inputs as the coordinates for the command addplot formated by axis.

I suggest you to learn about pgfplots, it is an amazing tool. I'm not an expert, there might be better methods to achieve the results you want.

Please note, my answer doesn't compute the frequencies (Frequência) instead I just present the cumulated sum (Acumulado) manually inserted in the second input argument. There are however a few options:

• Use any math tool or computer code to write down both lists for you;
• Learn how to do the math directly in TikZ (Sorry, I don't know this trick for coordinates);
• Check references from links 4 and 5 to learn how to create tables with your data or external files.

The MWE is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\newcommand{\myPareto}[2]{
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[
        ylabel={Acumulado},
        xlabel={Soma das horas},
        ymin=0,
        xtick=data,
        axis y line*=left,
        ymajorgrids,
        major y grid style={dashed, thick}
      ]
      \addplot[ybar interval, fill=blue, opacity=0.5] coordinates {#1};
      \addplot[draw, mark=*, orange, ultra thick] coordinates {#2};

    \end{axis}
    \begin{axis}[
      axis y line=right,
      axis x line=none,
      yticklabel={\pgfmathparse{100\tick}\pgfmathprintnumber[fixed,precision=0]\pgfmathresult%},
      ymin=0,
      ]

    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
}
\begin{document}
\myPareto{(94,30) (194,10) (294,5) (394,3) (494,2) (594,0)}
  {(144,30) (244,40) (344,45) (444,48) (544,50)}
\end{document}

I added mark=* to show the coordinates of second input. The result is presented below.

Answer 2

I wouldn't construct such (monster of) \newcommand. Rather use a table, where are collected data for diagrams. Such approach, according to my opinion, is more clear and flexible (you can simply extend the table with more rows and columns). Beside this, such MWE is better understandable to others, which will be eventually interested for your code (for example, if you will use it articles for journals):

\documentclass[margin=3.141592]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\pgfplotstableread{
X1      y1      X2      y2
94      30      144     30
194     10      244     40
294     5       344     45
394     3       444     48
494     2       544     50
594     0       nan     nan
}{\datatable}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    ymajorgrids,
    major y grid style={dashed},
    ylabel={Acumulado},
    xtick=data,
    xlabel={Soma das horas},
    ymin=0,
            ]
\addplot [ybar interval, fill=blue, semitransparent]
            table [x=X1, y=y1]   {\datatable};
\addplot [orange, very thick, mark=*]
            table [x=X2, y=y2]   {\datatable};
\end{axis}
\begin{axis}[
    axis y line=right,
    axis x line=none,
    yticklabel={\pgfmathparse{int(round(100\tick))}%
                \pgfmathresult%
                },
      ymin=0,
      ]
    \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
