<H2><A NAME="8_3">8.3 Error plots</A></H2>
<P> Error plots are used to visually indicate uncertainty in data
 points. This is done by for each X value by giving both a minimum and a
 maximum Y-value.</P>
<P> Before you can use error plots you must remember to include the file
 &quot;jpgraph_error.php&quot; in your script.</P>
<P> The following example illustrates a simple error bar. We will have 5
 points, so we need 10 Y-values. We also would like the error bars to be
 red and 2 pixels wide. All this is accomplished by creating an <A href="../ref/ErrorPlot.html#_C_ERRORPLOT">
 ErrorPlot()</A> in much the same way as, for example, a normal line
 plot. Doing this would now give the example shown below.</P>
<P><DIV class="example">
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_example13.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
HEIGHT="200"  src="img/example13.png" WIDTH="300"></A>
<BR><B>Figure 53:</B> A simple error bar <A href="exframes/frame_example13.html"
target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
<P></P>
</DIV></P>
<P> You might notice that there is one displeasing esthetic quality of
 this graph. The X-scale is just wide enough to just accompany the
 number of error bars and hence the first bar is drawn on the Y-axis and
 the and last bar just at the edge of the plot area. To adjust this you
 might call the <A href="../ref/Plot.html#_PLOT_SETCENTER"> SetCenter()</A>
 method which will adjust the X-scale so it does not use the full width
 of the X-axis.</P>
<P> The following example illustrates the use of this feature by
 applying this technique to the previous example<DIV class="example">
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_example14.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
HEIGHT="200"  src="img/example14.png" WIDTH="300"></A>
