form is
errorbar (Y, EY)
where the first argument is taken as the set of Y coordinates and
the second argument EY is taken as the errors of the Y values. X
coordinates are taken to be the indices of the elements, starting
with 1.
If more than two arguments are given, they are interpreted as
errorbar (X, Y, ..., FMT, ...)
where after X and Y there can be up to four error parameters such
as EY, EX, LY, UY etc., depending on the plot type. Any number of
argument sets may appear, as long as they are separated with a
format string FMT.
If Y is a matrix, X and error parameters must also be matrices
having same dimensions. The columns of Y are plotted versus the
corresponding columns of X and errorbars are drawn from the
corresponding columns of error parameters.
If FMT is missing, yerrorbars ("~") plot style is assumed.
If the FMT argument is supplied, it is interpreted as in normal
plots. In addition the following plot styles are supported by
errorbar:
Above might be starting point to get errorbars with a bar chart.
