I think you'll agree the original result in not visually appealing or clear. The most obvious way to improve it would be to select axis limits a bit larger. At least large enough to completely show the error bar; I suspect a bit of whitespace would be even more clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
