I want to implement the top answer in this to colour and hatch bars as above, and compiled exactly the same code.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[ybar, samples=10, enlarge y limits=upper, ymin=0]
\addplot +[
    black,
    fill=yellow,
    postaction={
        pattern=north east lines
    }
]{rnd};
\end{axis}


\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

However, I got this. Only the bottom was hatched.

I also tried every path from the same answer.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\makeatletter
\tikzset{nomorepostaction/.code=\let\tikz@postactions\pgfutil@empty}
\makeatother


\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[ybar, samples=10]
\addplot +[
    black,
    fill=yellow,
    every path/.style={
        postaction={
            nomorepostaction,
            pattern=north east lines
        }
    }
]{rnd};
\end{axis}


\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Now, the bottom is gone.

How can I get the same result as the original article? Since the source code is exactly the same, I suspect this is to do with my latex version, which is as below.

With your MWE (Minimal Working Example) I can't reproduce your image. It works fine (with pgfplots version 1.18, compiled by pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (MiKTeX 23.5) (preloaded format=pdflatex.fmt)):

\documentclass[margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}   % <---
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    ybar, 
    samples=10,
    enlarge y limits=upper, 
    ymin=0]
\addplot +[black, fill=yellow,
           postaction={pattern=north east lines}
          ] {rnd};
\end{axis}


\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

  • I've found that my pgfplot version was 1.17, so will give 1.18 a go and see how it goes. Cheers. – Kaz May 30 '23 at 23:34
