Hi,

I am trying to make a bar chart in PGFPlotsX.jl with the same properties of the [PlotlyJS bar charts with relative barmode](https://plotly.com/javascript/bar-charts/#bar-chart-with-relative-barmode). I was not able to find an example neither in the PGFPlots.jl gallery, nor in the Plots.jl documentation.

I would appreciate if someone could help me out with that. An area chart with the same “relative” effect could also work for what I need to do.

How about:

```julia
@pgf Axis(
    {ybar_stacked},
    Plot(Coordinates([(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16)])),
    Plot(Coordinates([(1, 6), (2, -8), (3, -4.5), (4, 8)])),
    Plot(Coordinates([(1, -15), (2, -3), (3, 4.5), (4, -8)])),
    Plot(Coordinates([(1, -1), (2, 3), (3, -3), (4, -4)])),
)

```

Thank you. Is it possible to plot another set of coordinates in the form of a line chart on top of it?

</div>

This is one way to do it:

```julia
@pgf Axis(
    {},
    Plot({ybar_stacked, fill="blue"}, Coordinates([(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16)])),
    Plot({ybar_stacked, fill="red"}, Coordinates([(1, 6), (2, -8), (3, -4.5), (4, 8)])),
    Plot({ybar_stacked, fill="gray"}, Coordinates([(1, -15), (2, -3), (3, 4.5), (4, -8)])),
    Plot({ybar_stacked, fill="brown"}, Coordinates([(1, -1), (2, 3), (3, -3), (4, -4)])),
    Plot({scatter}, Coordinates(range(1, 4; length=200), 20*rand(200).-10))
)

```

Thank you all! PGFPlotsX.jl is really great. It gives a lot of flexibility and the best quality for research papers.
