Display an error bar graph view (if possible).
If there are two series or columns, the error bar will show the high and low values in the bar. The optional third series or column will be plotted as a symbol.
Syntax
errbar(options) o1 o2 [o3 ...]
object_name.errbar(options)
where o1, o2, ..., are series or group objects.
Options
rotate | Rotate the graph so the observation axis is on the left. |
Template and printing options
o=template | Use appearance options from the specified template. template may be a predefined template keyword (“default” - current global defaults, “classic”, “modern”, “reverse”, “midnight”, “spartan”, “monochrome”) or a graph in the workfile. |
t=graph_name | Use appearance options and copy text and shading from the specified graph. |
b / -b | [Apply / Remove] bold modifiers of the base template style specified using the “o=” option above. |
w / -w | [Apply / Remove] wide modifiers of the base template style specified using the “o=” option above. |
reset | Resets all graph options to the global defaults. May be used to remove existing customization of the graph. |
p | Print the graph. |
The options which support the “–” may be preceded by a “+” or “–” indicating whether to turn on or off the option. The “+” is optional.
Panel options
The following option applies when graphing panel structured data:
panel=arg (default taken from global settings) | Panel data display: “stack” (stack the cross-sections), “individual” or “i” (separate graph for each cross-section), “combine” or “c” (combine cross-section graphs in a single frame), “mean” (plot means across cross-sections), “median” (plot median across cross-sections). (Note: more general versions of these panel graphs may be constructed as categorical graphs.) |
Examples
Basic examples
errbar xhigh xlow xval
displays an error bar graph using the series XLOW, XHIGH, and XVAL.
group g1 xhigh xlow xval
g1.errbar
creates an error bar graph view of the three series in G1.
g1.errbar(o=midnight, w)
displays an errbar bar graph using the settings of the predefined template “midnight”, applying the wide modifier.
Panel examples
g1.errbar(panel=individual)
displays error bars for each cross-section in a separate frame, while,
g1.errbar(panel=mean)
displays error bars formed by computing the means for the series across cross-sections.
