I would like to add a error bar to my graph. If you run a bar code you will get a 12 bar with 4 temperature and 3 different %carbon content,

I have a number from calulation on yneg (ErrorMin) ypos (ErrorMax),

I arange like first number from neg and pos are for first bar and continue.

and if you know how to do a pattern fill on a bar like a pircture below please help

I think the problem you ran into was that you were calling errorbar with 4x4 matrices for x and y, and 1x12 vectors for yneg and ypos. If you provide vectors for x and y things will work well, and it's easy to convert your matrices to vectors with (:) - just make sure that the values match up as you expect (i.e. that you don't need a transpose).

In the snippet below the only line of code I adjusted was the call to errorbar, where I inserted (:) after xx and yy (and a missing comma before 'o'

thank you for your help

it seem like doesn't use a number that I put on neg and pos

i'm trying to do easy way x and y but don't know how to mix like at 15% have 4 bar.

so i ask for help and got this one.

[Dave B]

the numbers for yneg and ypos are how far up and down the errorbars go from the bars...maybe you can expand a bit on what's seems like it doesn't use the values you're specifying?
