AddErrBar

Description

Adds an error bar plot to an existing dataplot from Column object.

Adds an error bar plot to an existing dataplot from Dataset object.

Syntax

int AddErrBar( Curve & cData, Column & colErrBar )

int AddErrBar( Curve & cData, Dataset & dsErrBar )

Parameters

cData

[input] Data curve to add the error bar to

colErrBar

[input] the Data curve to be used as error bar

cData

[input] Data curve to add the error bar to

dsErrBar

[input] the dataset to be used as errorbar

Return

the index of the added error bar dataplot in layer, or -1 if failed.

the index of the added error bar dataplot in layer, or -1 if failed.

Examples

EX1

// For this example to run, a worksheet with columns "A" and "B" and another column

// for error bars.
