Bar with Uneven Error Bars

This tutorial will show how to use the TechGraph Editor to display uneven error bars on a bar graph.  Shown below are the settings in the Data Table and the Edit Chart used to create this chart.         Data Table – Sample data can easily be changed or replaced by pasting data from an external worksheet.

• Graph Type is Bar.
• X Data Type is Label. Labels for the X Axis are entered in X Data column. Note that superscript tags () are supported in labels.
• Graph A contains the mean values.
• Graph B contains the corresponding “upper” error values for Graph A.
• Graph C contains zero values.
• Graph D contains the corresponding “lower” error values for Graph A.

Note:   Click on the “Help” button on the toolbar to find out how to edit, delete, copy and paste in the Data Table. Edit Chart – A set of icons (Titles, Settings, X Axis, Y Axis, Curves and Error Bars) to change the settings and appearance of the chart.            Settings  – specify the color and pattern for Graph A bar.     

• Checkbox for Stack Data is checked.    
• Click on the “Turquoise rectangle” (Graph Style) to show the bar Style for Graph A pop-up.   You can change the Color and Pattern for Graph A bar.   Click on Apply to save the changes.  Repeat this step for Graph C.

     Y axis

• Enter values in Minimum, Maximum and Major Div to set the Y Axis scale and divisions. Leave these values empty for automatic scaling.

     Curves & Error Bars       

• Select “Error Bar On” from Error Bar list for Graph A and Graph C.

• Click on “Up Only” (Error Bar Format)  for Graph B. For this example, “Up Only“  is selected from the Error Format list.  Color (“Black”) is selected for the error bar color.   Use the Thickness selection list to change the line style. Click on Apply to save the changes
• Click on “Down Only” (Error Bar Format)  for Graph D. For this example, “Down  Only“  is selected from the Error Format list.  Color (“Black”) is selected for the error bar color.   Use the Thickness selection list to change the line style. Click on Apply to save the changes
