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 gnuplot plot error bars 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 errorbars 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

This is my gnuplot code: set terminal postscript eps color set output '| epstopdf --filter --outfile=plot.pdf' set xlabel "Simulation days" set xtics nomirror set ylabel "Time (seconds)" set ytics nomirror set logscale y set key left top plot "data1.csv" using 1:($2/1000):($3/1000) with yerrorbars pt 5,\ "data2.csv" using http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24117219/gnuplot-types-of-error-bars 1:($2/1000):($3/1000) with yerrorbars pt 7 The error bars from the first plot are different from the second one. The first line is solid, but the second is dotted. Its possible to define the style of the error bar? plot gnuplot share|improve this question asked Jun 9 '14 at 9:22 mariolpantunes 597822 Oh, wow, did not know about the output '| ...'. +1 for teaching me that :) –Bernhard Jun 10 '14 at 15:01 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted In your case, the easiest option is to use the solid terminal option to have only solid lines: set terminal postscript eps color solid lw 3 set output '| epstopdf --filter --outfile=plot.pdf' set samples 10 set xrange [0:10] unset key plot '+' using 1:1:(0.2*$1) w yerrorbars, \ '' using 1:(1.5*$1):(0.1*$1) w yerrorbars Result with 4.6.4: Alternatively, you can use lt 1 lc 2 for the second plot, which selects the line pattern of the first linetype (which is solid), and the color of the second one: plot '+' using 1:1:(0.2*$1) w yerrorbars, \ '' using 1:(1.5*$1):(0.1*$1) lt 1 lc 2 w yerrorbars share|improve this answer answe
the last entry we had mean and standard variation data for five different conditions. Now let us assume that we have only two different conditions, but have measured with three different instruments A, B and C. We have used a ANOVA to verify that the data for the two conditions are significant different. As a result the plot in http://www.gnuplotting.org/tag/errorbars/ Fig. 1 should be created. Fig. 1 Plot the mean and variance of the given data (code to http://lowrank.net/gnuplot/intro/style-e.html produce this figure) Therefore we store our data in a format, that can be used by the index command in Gnuplot. Note that the data have two empty lines between the blocks in the real data file: # mean std # A 0.77671 0.20751 0.33354 0.30969 # B 0.64258 0.22984 0.19621 0.22597 # C 0.49500 0.31147 0.14567 0.21857 Now every instrument is stored in a different data block containing both conditions as columns. error bars The color definitions and axes settings are done in a similar way as in the previous blog entry. Note that we have to define two more colors for the boxes, because we use three different colors. Also we define a black line to plot the significance indicator (arrow). set style line 1 lc rgb 'gray30' lt 1 lw 2 set style line 2 lc rgb 'gray40' lt 1 lw 2 set style line 3 lc rgb 'gray70' lt 1 lw 2 set style line 4 lc rgb 'gray90' lt 1 lw plot error bars 2 set style line 5 lc rgb 'black' lt 1 lw 1.5 set style fill solid 1.0 border rgb 'grey30' The significance indicator is created by three black arrows and a text label: # Draw line for significance test set arrow 1 from 0,1 to 1,1 nohead ls 5 set arrow 2 from 0,1 to 0,0.95 nohead ls 5 set arrow 3 from 1,1 to 1,0.95 nohead ls 5 set label '**' at 0.5,1.05 center For the plot the index command is used to plot first condition A, then B and then C by using block 0,1, and 2 respectively. The x-position of the boxes for instrument A are slightly shifted to the left, the ones for C to the right by subtracting or adding the value of bs. The value of bs has the width of one box in order to plot the boxes side by side. # Size of one box bs = 0.2 # Plot mean with variance (std^2) as boxes with yerrorbar plot 'statistics.dat' i 0 u ($0-bs):1:($2**2) notitle w yerrorb ls 1, \ '' i 0 u ($0-bs):1:(bs) t 'A' w boxes ls 2, \ '' i 1 u 0:1:($2**2) notitle w yerrorb ls 1, \ '' i 1 u 0:1:(bs) t 'B' w boxes ls 3, \ '' i 2 u ($0+bs):1:($2**2) notitle w yerrorb ls 1, \ '' i 2 u ($0+bs):1:(bs) t 'C' w boxes ls 4 Tags: ANOVA, border, boxes, data, errorbars, index Plotting simple statistical data September 9th, 2010 | No Comments If we have done a experiment in order to apply a significance test like a ANOVA to our measure
Symbols Bar-Graph Symbols with Error Bars Vectors Others Introduction to gnuplot --- Plot Style Here you can see what kinds of graph gnuplot can draw. To specify the style of graph, with style . To connect the data points with lines, use with lines . The with points option places symbols at the data points. Draw lines, dots, and symbols Draw a bar-graph Draw symbols with error bars Draw vectors Others (candlesticks, financebars) Those styles can be easily combined. For example, to draw a line graph and a bar graph at the same time: gnuplot> plot "file.dat" with boxes, "" notitle with lines Draw Lines, Dots, and Symbols lines It connects each data point with lines. Suitable to smoothly varying data. dots It displays dots, can be used when there many data points, but hard to see though. points Symbols are shown at the data point location, can be used to plot experimental data. The number of different kinds of symbol depends on your terminal, but there are at least 6. The number '-1' is a dot. The size of symbol can be changed by the set pointsize command. linespoints lp Draw lines and symbols at the same time. impulses Draw vertical lines from each data point to X-axis. This is a bar-graph without width. stepsfstepshisteps Three kinds of histgram. The difference of those is a definition of starting and ending points, which you can see below. Gnuplot can draw a histgram, but it cannot calculate the histgram data themselves. Here you can see the difference of 3 histgrams. The data position is shown by a blue box. With steps , the data point defines an initial position, while the data points are treated as the final position with fsteps . With histeps a graph becomes a kind of bar-graph but the bars stick together. steps fsteps histeps Draw a Bar-Graph boxes This bar graph resembles the histgrams above except for vertical lines. Inside the each bar is empty, cannot be filled with color. If you want a color-filled bar-graph, exports the produced graph into some drawing softwares line Tgif, and paint them. A width of each bar is calculated automati
