Xyerrorlines

The xyerrorlines style is only relevant to 2-d data plots. xyerrorlines is like linespoints, except that horizontal and vertical error bars are also drawn. At each point (x,y), lines are drawn from (x,y-ydelta) to (x,y+ydelta) and from (x-xdelta,y) to (x+xdelta,y) or from (x,ylow) to (x,yhigh) and from (xlow,y) to (xhigh,y), depending upon the number of data columns provided. A tic mark is placed at the ends of the error bar (unless set bars is used -- see set bars (p. ) for details).

If data are provided in an unsupported mixed form, the using filter on the plot command should be used to set up the appropriate form. For example, if the data are of the form (x,y,xdelta,ylow,yhigh), then you can use

     plot 'data' using 1:2:($1-$3):($1+$3):4:5 with xyerrorlines
