Help, somebody! Error Bars in both X and Y directions.
type: item
description: Hello there, I have been fruitlessly trying to implement an IDL code to create errorbars in both x and y directions. However, my data on the ordinate (y axis) is at a very different range than the abcissae (x axis). For example, xrange=[0.75,1.25]; yrange=[0.01,0.05]. The following procedure, obviously wrong, is able to produce the correct x,y mapping but, alas, the errorbars do not correspond to their respective x and y scales. Can a kind soul help me in this adventure? Oh, I would appreciate a non-widget solution. Both, pwidget of RSI and pubplot of Joel Offenberg were unable to run on my Solaris machine because of some problem. And, no time to spare...
