Cetz stuff

@shut crow lets move the conversation here as you suggested

  cetz.draw.set-style(
    axes: (
      stroke: (thickness: 0.5pt, cap: "square"),
      grid: (stroke: 0pt),
      tick: (
        stroke: (thickness: 0.5pt, cap: "square", dash: none),
        label: (angle: 45deg)
      ),
    ),
    error: (whisker-size: 0.25),
    // grid: (stroke: none),
    // bar-width: 1,
    // legend: (stroke: (thickness: 0.5pt, cap: "square")),
    // axes: (tick: (length: 0), grid: (stroke: none)),
  )
  cetz.chart.columnchart(
    axis-style: "scientific",
    size: (10, 6),
    mode: "clustered",
    label-key: "cmpd",
    value-key: ("GTAverage", "Maverage"),
    error-key: ("GTSTDev", "MSTDev"),
    low
  )
})```

This is my code so far

which yields

The things I'd like to change: y-axis tick labels in scientific notation and not rotated (ideally, the exponent on the very top)

no horizontal dashed grid lines (seems to be tied to the axis stroke)

change anchor of labels

and, for some reason, the error bars aren't showing

here is the excel version I'm aiming for:

Uh, maybe errors are not in 0.2.2 🙄 Sorry.

For the rest:

There seems to be a bug setting the tick label anchor for all axes at once. But it works when specifying a single axis.

If you can use local packages, you could use cetz-plot from https://github.com/cetz-package/cetz-plot, which includes those changes (or use cetz form main).

Thats okay ^^
