Add callback to the current axis to maintain a sensible error bar width on zooming.

The Matlab errorbar() function produces error bars with a fixed width in axis units. This makes it hard to zoom in on the plot. This code cleans up the behavior on zooming.

Very nice entry!

I have one comment about your implementation. Your use of "handle" is not a fully supported syntax (undocumented), so I just want to make sure that you're aware of that. Using an unsupported syntax may break in future releases, so extra caution is required.

For your code, you might find the customization capability of "zoom" to be useful:
