Bar Graphs - "error bars"

Post by Schwer »

Hello David --

I searched the Q&A but found no obvious answer to my question of how to add 'error bars' (standard deviations) to bar charts ?

Thanks, --len

PS - The more I use DPlot the more amazed I am at its capabilities.

Len,
Options>Error Bars works the same for bar charts as for every other graph type.

The only gotcha is with stacked bars if you have more than one data set: The higher bars will be drawn over the error bars of the lower bars.

Hello David –

Since I do not know how to include graphics in my posts to the DPlot forum, I will send the chart image directly to you.

I want to add error bars (standard deviation) to only the data item (+/- 0.135)

Here is the chart data
Data 1.049
ConWep 0.992
1D 0.5mm 0.899
1D 1mm 0.892
2D 1.25mm 0.870
2D 2.5mm 0.856
2D 5mm 0.829
2D 10mm 0.704
