hi guys,

i want to make a plot that sort of looks like an error bar plot but without the mean value, just the top and bottom data points. it would be great if the errorbar plot would let me give the command errorbar(x,y_lower,y_upper,' ') but of course that doesnt work. so i was thinking about doing something like:

plot(x1, y_lower1,y_upper1,'o') and somehow connecting them with a line, and then hold on, and then plot(x2, y_lower2,y_upper2,'o') ... and then somehow looping over plot statements for all the elements in my data set? but i can't get this to work either?

would this be the right way to do it? or is there a plot type that would be easier to use? (and have me asking fewer questions about)

Something like this?

x = 1:10;

y = zeros(1,10);

err = randn(1,10);

errorbar(x,y,err,'LineStyle','none')

xlim([0 11])

ok, that's "mostly" right. i just haven't been able to figure out how to get errorbar plot function to work with my data. so here i'll make up some dummy data for the Y axis.

x=[1,2,3];
minVals=[5,2,3];
maxVals=[12,7,9];
diff=maxVals-minVals;

(i don't know how to make a plot in this webpage window or make my text look like MATLAB code which would probably be more helpful, but i'll describe my outcome as best i can, and i think you'll understand)

[EDIT (@_): I fixed it; use the controls at the top of the comment/answer box for formatting text and running code]

if i make the plot

subplot(3,1,1)
errorbar(x,maxVals,minVals, 'LineStyle','none')
xlim([0 4])

i get a plot with the "bottom y values" equal to 7 and 5 and 6. this is equivalent to diff. and the "top y values" equal to 17 and 9 and 12. this is equvialent to the sum of minVals and maxVals. neither of these bottom y values or top y values match minVals or maxVals so these are incorrect.

if i make the plot

subplot(3,1,2)
errorbar(x,maxVals,diff, 'LineStyle','none')
xlim([0 4])

i get a plot with the "bottom y values" equal to minVals, which is correct, but the "top y values" equal to 19 and 12 and 15. this is equvialent to the sum of maxVals and diff and is incorrect.

if i make the plot

subplot(3,1,3)

errorbar(x,minVals,diff, 'LineStyle','none')

xlim([0 4])

i get a plot with the "top y values" equal to maxVals, which is correct, but the "bottom y values" equal to -2 and -3 and -3 which i don't know what the heck that's equal to.

i have tried all the permutations of possible assignments of minVals, maxVals, and diff going into the errorbar plot and i have'nt been able to figure out the right permutation. can someone PLEASE help me?

awesome!!! that worked. THANKS i've been pulling my hair out all morning trying to figure this thing out - arrrgh

i need more ecxperience learning some of the non-typical plotting functions MatLab has built-in
