AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating a scatter plot that includes both vertical and horizontal error bars representing standard deviation. The user from Quebec City seeks guidance on how to effectively display data points along with their respective error margins. Initially unsure about the tools, the user clarifies that they are using MATLAB. They successfully implement vertical error bars using the built-in errorbar function and a user-created function called herrorbar for horizontal error bars. This highlights the importance of selecting the right functions in MATLAB for visualizing data with error margins.

Hi, first of all, sorry if my English is not perfect I'm from Quebec City and English is not my first language.

I'm trying to make a scatter plot with average of numerical data. But now I also want to put the standard deviation on the scatter.

Exemple, I have a point (x,[y ± σ]) and I want to have a point on my coordinate (x,y) and a line that goes to x - σ to x + σ. Thank you

Sorry I forgot to say, I need vertical and horizontal error bars
 
What tool do you want to use to produce this?
 
Sorry I finally got it, I was working on MatLab and I used the function errorbar and a function made by a user called herrorbar for my horizontal
