Hi Matthew,
It doesn't look like there's a direct way to restrict the individual error bars from being created.
However, you can remove the error values from the other points i.e. make them zero so it doesn't come up as an error bar. It still might not look good, but you can give it a try.
I tried the following example to try this out and print every 3rd error bar on an example shown here:
% error bar demo
x = 0:pi/10:pi;
y = sin(x);
e = std(y)*ones(size(x)); % calculate the initial errors
figure
% copy the initial errors and make the ones not required as zero
valToKeep = 1:3:length(z); % keep every third bar, start from 1
z = e;
for i=1:length(z)
if ~any(valToKeep == i)
z(i) = 0;
end
end
disp(z)
errorbar(x,y,z) % instead of errorbar(x, y, e) keep all third bars
Hope this helps!
