Hi,

I am trying to make an errorbar plot with a logarithmic x-axis. I have symmetric errors in logspace, however if I plot them, the errors are not symmetric anymore, as you can see in the enclosed image. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a bug?

Thanks for your help,
Markus

Here the code I used to produce the plot:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

data_x_log = np.array([13.0,15.0])

data_y = np.array([0.5,1])

error_x_log = np.array([0.5,1.])

error_x_lower = 10**(data_x_log-error_x_log)

error_x_upper = 10**(data_x_log+error_x_log)

fig = plt.figure()

ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

ax.errorbar(10**data_x_log,data_y,xerr=[error_x_lower,error_x_upper],ls='',marker='o')

ax.set_xscale('log')

ax.set_xlim([1E11,1E17])

ax.set_ylim([0,2])

plt.savefig('error.png')
