IntervalMarkersStyle

IntervalMarkersStyle

is an option for plotting functions that specifies styles in which uncertainty intervals are drawn.

Details

  • IntervalMarkersStyle can take the following forms:
  • Automaticautomatically styled markers
    Noneno error bars
    ggraphics directive g
    Directive[g1,g2,…]combined directives g1,g2,…
    {g1,g2,…}individual directives for successive sets of markers
    <|"prop1"val1,…|>structured styling of interval markers
  • The properties and values for structured styling include:
  • "FenceStyle"stylestyle of fences
    "FenceWidth"widthwidth of fences
    "WhiskerStyle"stylestyle of whiskers
  • The width is given as a fraction of the width of the box, and the style can be any directive.
  • By default, IntervalMarkersStyle inherits from PlotStyle.

Basic Examples  (3)

Uncertainties automatically inherit the plot style:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], PlotStyle -> StandardGray]

Interval marker styles are different for each dataset:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[{Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10]}]

Specify the style for uncertainties:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], IntervalMarkersStyle -> Red]

Scope  (5)

Use different styles for different sets:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[{Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10]}, IntervalMarkersStyle -> {Red, Blue}]

Customize the style for uncertainties:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"FenceStyle" -> Red, "WhiskerStyle" -> Green|>]
Wolfram Language code: BarChart[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], {1, 1}], 10], IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"WhiskerStyle" -> Red|>]

Use bands to visualize uncertainty continuously:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], 1], 10], IntervalMarkers -> "Bands", IntervalMarkersStyle -> Pink]

Use ellipses to visualize uncertainty as an area:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[Table[Around[RandomReal[20], {{1, 1}, {1, 1}}], 10], IntervalMarkers -> "Ellipses", PlotRange -> All, IntervalMarkersStyle -> Thick]
