hi folks

i'm pretty sure it can't be that hard, but i haven't found anything
helpful on the net that could answer my question.

I have a time series of data and I need to plot the stddev for each
data point as little (vertical) bars over the regular time series
plot.
does anybody know where to find a program to do so?
cheers!!
juls

Yes,

I never use oploterr etc. because they are not flexible enough for me,
but you are right that they do works well for simple plots.

Ciao,
Paolo
