# errbar1

How to download and try this example

    Usage: pl -gif errbar1.htm
    or for postscript: pl -ps errbar1.htm | lp

    In this example the means and standard deviations were already calculated,
    so proc bars is used to render the bars.  An alternative is to use proc
    rangebar with meanmode option to calculate mean & standard deviation
    and render bars.

    Categories are used to position bars in X; proc catslide is used to
    adjust the positioning slightly so that pairs of bars may be displayed
    for each category.
