## Create a 2-D plot with errorbars.
##
## Many different combinations of arguments are possible.  The simplest form is
##
## @example
## errorbar (@var{y}, @var{ey})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## where the first argument is taken as the set of @var{y} coordinates, the
## second argument @var{ey} are the errors around the @var{y} values, and the
## @var{x} coordinates are taken to be the indices of the elements
## (@code{1:numel (@var{y})}).
##
## The general form of the function is
##
## @example
## errorbar (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{err1}, @dots{}, @var{fmt}, @dots{})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## After the @var{x} and @var{y} arguments there can be 1, 2, or 4
## parameters specifying the error values depending on the nature of the error
## values and the plot format @var{fmt}.
##
## @table @asis
## @item @var{err} (scalar)
## When the error is a scalar all points share the same error value.
## The errorbars are symmetric and are drawn from @var{data}-@var{err} to
## @var{data}+@var{err}.
## The @var{fmt} argument determines whether @var{err} is in the x-direction, 
## y-direction (default), or both.
##
## @item @var{err} (vector or matrix)
## Each data point has a particular error value.
## The errorbars are symmetric and are drawn from @var{data}(n)-@var{err}(n) to
## @var{data}(n)+@var{err}(n).
##
## @item @var{lerr}, @var{uerr} (scalar)
## The errors have a single low-side value and a single upper-side value.
## The errorbars are not symmetric and are drawn from @var{data}-@var{lerr} to
## @var{data}+@var{uerr}.
##
## @item @var{lerr}, @var{uerr} (vector or matrix)
## Each data point has a low-side error and an upper-side error.
## The errorbars are not symmetric and are drawn from
## @var{data}(n)-@var{lerr}(n) to @var{data}(n)+@var{uerr}(n).
## @end table
##
## Any number of data sets (@var{x1},@var{y1}, @var{x2},@var{y2}, @dots{}) may
## appear as long as they are separated by a format string @var{fmt}.
##
## If @var{y} is a matrix, @var{x} and the error parameters must also be
## matrices having the same dimensions.  The columns of @var{y} are plotted
## versus the corresponding columns of @var{x} and errorbars are taken from
## the corresponding columns of the error parameters.
##
## If @var{fmt} is missing, the yerrorbars ("~") plot style is assumed.
##
## If the @var{fmt} argument is supplied then it is interpreted, as in normal
## plots, to specify the line style, marker, and color.  In addition,
## @var{fmt} may include an errorbar style which @strong{must precede} the
## ordinary format codes.  The following errorbar styles are supported:
##
## @table @samp
## @item ~
## Set yerrorbars plot style (default).
##
## @item >
## Set xerrorbars plot style.
##
## @item ~>
## Set xyerrorbars plot style.
##
## @item #~
## Set yboxes plot style.
##
## @item #
## Set xboxes plot style.
##
## @item #~>
## Set xyboxes plot style.
## @end table
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a handle to the hggroup object
## representing the data plot and errorbars.
##
## Note: For compatibility with @sc{matlab} a line is drawn through all data
## points.  However, most scientific errorbar plots are a scatter plot of
## points with errorbars.  To accomplish this, add a marker style to the
## @var{fmt} argument such as @qcode{"."}.  Alternatively, remove the line
## by modifying the returned graphic handle with
## @code{set (h, "linestyle", "none")}.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## errorbar (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{ex}, ">.r")
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## produces an xerrorbar plot of @var{y} versus @var{x} with @var{x}
## errorbars drawn from @var{x}-@var{ex} to @var{x}+@var{ex}.  The marker
## @qcode{"."} is used so no connecting line is drawn and the errorbars
## appear in red.
##
## @example
## @group
## errorbar (@var{x}, @var{y1}, @var{ey}, "~",
##           @var{x}, @var{y2}, @var{ly}, @var{uy})
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## produces yerrorbar plots with @var{y1} and @var{y2} versus @var{x}.
## Errorbars for @var{y1} are drawn from @var{y1}-@var{ey} to
## @var{y1}+@var{ey}, errorbars for @var{y2} from @var{y2}-@var{ly} to
## @var{y2}+@var{uy}.
##
## @example
## @group
## errorbar (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{lx}, @var{ux},
##           @var{ly}, @var{uy}, "~>")
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## produces an xyerrorbar plot of @var{y} versus @var{x} in which
## @var{x} errorbars are drawn from @var{x}-@var{lx} to @var{x}+@var{ux}
## and @var{y} errorbars from @var{y}-@var{ly} to @var{y}+@var{uy}.
