ErrorListPlot[{{y1,dy1},{y2,dy2},…}]

plots points corresponding to a list of values y1,y2,…, with corresponding error bars. The errors have magnitudes dy1,dy2,….

ErrorListPlot[{{{x1,y1},ErrorBar[err1]},{{x2,y2},ErrorBar[err2]},…}]

plots points with specified x and y coordinates and error magnitudes.

ErrorListPlot

As of Version 12, ErrorListPlot has been superseded by ListPlot.

ErrorListPlot[{{y1,dy1},{y2,dy2},…}]

plots points corresponding to a list of values y1,y2,…, with corresponding error bars. The errors have magnitudes dy1,dy2,….

ErrorListPlot[{{{x1,y1},ErrorBar[err1]},{{x2,y2},ErrorBar[err2]},…}]

plots points with specified x and y coordinates and error magnitudes.

Wolfram Language code: Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]

Plot data with associated errors:

Wolfram Language code: ErrorListPlot[Table[{i, RandomReal[0.5]}, {i, 10}]]

Plot data with error bars:

Wolfram Language code: ErrorListPlot[{{{1, 1}, ErrorBar[0.2]}, {{2, 2}, ErrorBar[0.1]}, {{3, 4}, ErrorBar[0.3]}, {{4, 6}, ErrorBar[0.4]}, {{5, 7}, ErrorBar[0.8]}, {{6, 10}, ErrorBar[0.5]}}]

ErrorListPlot takes the same options as ListPlot:

Wolfram Language code: ErrorListPlot[{{{1, 1}, ErrorBar[0.2]}, {{2, 2}, ErrorBar[0.1]}, {{3, 4}, ErrorBar[0.3]}, {{4, 6}, ErrorBar[0.4]}, {{5, 7}, ErrorBar[0.8]}, {{6, 10}, ErrorBar[0.5]}}, Joined -> True]
