errorbars

The set errorbars command controls the tics at the ends of error bars, and also at the end of the whiskers belonging to a boxplot.

Syntax:

      set errorbars {small | large | fullwidth | <size>} {front | back}
                    {line-properties}
      unset errorbars
      show errorbars

small is a synonym for 0.0 (no crossbar), and large for 1.0. The default is 1.0 if no size is given.

The keyword fullwidth is relevant only to boxplots and to histograms with errorbars. It sets the width of the errorbar ends to be the same as the width of the associated box. It does not change the width of the box itself.

The front and back keywords are relevant only to errorbars attached to filled rectangles (boxes, candlesticks, histograms).

Error bars are by default drawn using the same line properties as the border of the associated box. You can change this by providing a separate set of line properties for the error bars.
