Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Gnuplot histogram with errorbars (High and Low) up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to create a histogram (barchart) with High and Low errors, using gnuplot boxes gnuplot. I have found this thread Gnuplot barchart histogram with errorbars Unfortunately it consists only from X value and X-error (2 vaues). Whats I would like to achieve is X value (average) and error bar consisting of High and Low values (total 3: avg, High and Low). How I can do this using gnuplot? My script is identical to the one mentioned in the Thread, I only changed some labels etc (simple cosmetic changes). My example gnuplot error bars style dataset structure is as follows: WikiVote 10 12 7 gnuplot histogram bar-chart share|improve this question asked Mar 12 '13 at 20:30 alien01 5721923 How is that not what you have? It seems to me that the bar is the average and then you have the errorbar for high and low ranges. What am I missing here? Please elaborate. –mgilson Mar 12 '13 at 23:59 The error bar high and low are same distance from Y. As far as I can tell my script takes col2 as avg and then creates both high and low errors based on col3 as a distance from avg. I would like it to use col2 as avg, col3 as high and col4 as low. –alien01 Mar 13 '13 at 0:09 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted If you have a very simple datafile: #y ymin ymax 4 3 8 You can plot this datafile using: set yrange [0:] set style histogram errorbars gap 2 lw 1 plot 'datafile' u 1:2:3 w hist share|improve this answer answered Mar 13 '13 at 0:47 mgilson 153k23250364 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I have modified the code provided by mgilson, to achieve multiple histograms for a single X value.

The first column gives the box height, the second one is ±
by the various errorbar styles. In the default situation, gnuplot expects to see three, four, or six numbers on each line http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs_4.2/node140.html of the data file -- either (x, y, ydelta), (x, y, http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs_4.2/node249.html ylow, yhigh), (x, y, xdelta), (x, y, xlow, xhigh), (x, y, xdelta, ydelta), or (x, y, xlow, xhigh, ylow, yhigh). The x coordinate must be specified. The order of the numbers must be exactly as given above, though the using qualifier can manipulate the order and error bar provide values for missing columns. For example, plot 'file' with errorbars plot 'file' using 1:2:(sqrt($1)) with xerrorbars plot 'file' using 1:2:($1-$3):($1+$3):4:5 with xyerrorbars The last example is for a file containing an unsupported combination of relative x and absolute y errors. The using entry generates absolute x min and max from the relative error. The y error bar gnuplot error bar is a vertical line plotted from (x, ylow) to (x, yhigh). If ydelta is specified instead of ylow and yhigh, ylow = y - ydelta and yhigh = y + ydelta are derived. If there are only two numbers on the record, yhigh and ylow are both set to y. The x error bar is a horizontal line computed in the same fashion. To get lines plotted between the data points, plot the data file twice, once with errorbars and once with lines (but remember to use the notitle option on one to avoid two entries in the key). Alternately, use the errorlines command (see errorlines (p.)). The error bars have crossbars at each end unless set bars is used (see set bars (p.) for details). If autoscaling is on, the ranges will be adjusted to include the error bars. See also http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/mgr.htmlerrorbar demos. See plot using (p.), plot with (p.), and set style (p.) for more information. Next: Errorlines Up: Plot Previous: Zticlabels Contents Index Ethan Merritt 2007-03-03
