Matplotlib.pyplot.errorbar() in Python

Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.errorbar(x, y, yerr=None, xerr=None, fmt='', ecolor=None, elinewidth=None, capsize=None, barsabove=False, lolims=False, uplims=False, xlolims=False, xuplims=False, errorevery=1, capthick=None, \*, data=None, \*\*kwargs) Parameters: This method accept the following parameters that are described below:

• x, y: These parameter are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the data points.
• fmt: This parameter is an optional parameter and it contains the string value.
• xerr, yerr: These parameter contains an array.And the error array should have positive values.
• ecolor: This parameter is an optional parameter. And it is the color of the errorbar lines with default value NONE.
• elinewidth: This parameter is also an optional parameter. And it is the linewidth of the errorbar lines with default value NONE.
• capsize: This parameter is also an optional parameter. And it is the length of the error bar caps in points with default value NONE.
• barsabove: This parameter is also an optional parameter. It contains boolean value True for plotting errorsbars above the plot symbols.Its default value is False.
• lolims, uplims, xlolims, xuplims: These parameter are also an optional parameter. They contain boolean values which is used to indicate that a value gives only upper/lower limits.
• errorevery: This parameter is also an optional parameter. They contain integer values which is used to draws error bars on a subset of the data.

Returns: This returns the container and it is comprises of the following:

• plotline:This returns the Line2D instance of x, y plot markers and/or line.
• caplines:This returns the tuple of Line2D instances of the error bar caps.
• barlinecols:This returns the tuple of LineCollection with the horizontal and vertical error ranges.
