gnuplot-py-users Mailing List for Gnuplot.py

I have searched the documentation and the archive and have not found how to
plot data with error bars.  Could someone please point me in the right
direction.  A short piece of code would be helpful

The styles of plotting are documented within gnuplot under the help 
system; type "help plot with" and "help set style" to get info.  To plot 
with errorbars under Gnuplot.py, you need either 3 (x,y,delta) or 4 
(x,y,ylow,ymax) columns of data and then specify the "with='errorbars'" 
option:

 >>> import Gnuplot
 >>> g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
 >>> g('set xrange [0:5]')
 >>> g.plot(Gnuplot.Data([[1,2,0.1],[2,3,0.2], [3,4,0.3]], 
with='errorbars'))
 >>> g.plot(Gnuplot.Data([[1,2,1.5,2.2],[2,3,2.8,3.3], [3,4,3.2,4.7]], 
with='errorbars'))

Hope that helps.
Michael
