errorbar plot for log y scale

errorbarlogy
function errorbarlogy
% ERRORBARLOGY Show the vertical errorbar line in log y scale plot when the 
%   data error is larger than data itself.
%    
%   If ERRORBARLOGX is used, please run it before ERRORBARLOGY.
%
%   Example:
%      x = logspace(1,3,20);
%      y = 5*(1 + 0.5*(rand(1,20)-0.5)).*x.^(-2);
%      y_err(1:13) = y(1:13)/2;
%      y_err(14:20) = y(14:end)*5;
%      errorbar(x,y,y_err,'o');
%      errorbarlogy;
% 
%   This code is inspired by F. Moisy's ERRORBARLOGX.
