Hi Jody, Thank you very much for your help. You are right, this is what I wanted :-) Cheers, Markus On 2015-04-07 23:33, Jody Klymak wrote: > xerr is +/- relative to the data: > > *xerr*/*yerr*: [ scalar | N, Nx1, or 2xN array-like ] > If a scalar number, len(N) array-like object, or an Nx1

xerr is +/- relative to the data: *xerr*/*yerr*: [ scalar | N, Nx1, or 2xN array-like ] If a scalar number, len(N) array-like object, or an Nx1 array-like object, errorbars are drawn at +/-value relative to the data. If a sequence of shape 2xN, errorbars are drawn at -row1 an

I have the error from a table which is in log units, and the error is given to be symmetric in log space. Cheers, Markus On 2015-04-07 16:40, Yuxiang Wang wrote: > Typo - "standard deviation OR standard error of mean", not "OF". > > Sorry. > > Shawn > > > On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM, Yuxiang

If you error bars denote standard deviation of standard error of mean, shouldn't they be non-symmetric in log scale? Shawn On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 10:11 AM, Markus Haider wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to make an errorbar plot with a logarithmic x-axis. I have > symmetric errors in logspace, howeve

[Matplotlib-users] Problem with errorbar and log axis

2015-04-07 Thread Markus Haider
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 th
