Error Bars (Global, Point Graph, and Function)
The Error Bars subnode () adds error bars to Global, Point Graph, and Function 1D plots. In the Model Builder, add and define a 1D Global, Point Graph, or Function plot; then right-click the plot node and select Error Bars. Error bars provide a graphical representation of some variability in data, and the expressions used for the error bars’ lengths can represent quantities such as standard errors or percentages.
The Error Bars subnode has no effect for global and point graph plots that show a frequency spectrum.
Expression
Enter expressions for the down direction and up direction of the error bars in the Error down direction and Error up direction fields. If you want error bars in the x direction, select the x-axis check box and enter expressions for the left direction and right direction of the error bars in the Error left direction and Error right direction fields. The default values for all expressions are 0, which means no error bars.
Coloring and Style
From the Type list, choose Bar (the default) to show error bars, or choose Filled to show the error as a filled area.
If you chose Bar, then you can use the following settings for the appearance of the error bars:
•

•
From the Width list, choose a line width from 1 to 10 (default: 1), or choose From preferences to use the line width for graph plots from the preferences (indicated within parentheses). You can also use the slider underneath the list to change the line width.
If you chose Filled, then from the Color list, choose a color for the error bars: From theme (the default), predefined basic colors such as Black, or choose Custom to define a custom color.
