Error bars in illustrator

help!! I need to insert the standard deviation in a column graph created in illustrator...how can i do this?

Plot the upper bound and lower bound error points as data sets in a line graph and then connect the dots. Once errors bars are drawn in, remove the upper and lower bound data sets.

Off center error bars

I'm using AI CS2, and am running OSX 10.3.9.
I use the copy/ paste function to copy graphs from a graphing program (Kaleidagraph) into illustrator. Whenever I paste a line graph with error bars, the error bars are always slightly off center to the object they are supposed to be centered on. When I paste the same graph into another program, the error bars are centered so I know this is an illustrator problem. Other components might be off center as well, but it is only the error bars that are noticeable.
I know this problem is fixable as someone managed to change something in illustrator to stop the off center problem when pasting into illustrator, but unfortunately that person can't remember how they did it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Eileen,
Though that's not quite my problem. The line graphs I'm talking about will have several shapes in a line, (ie. a circle). When I make a graph, the circles will have a straight line down the middle of the circle (the error bar). When I than past this graph into illustrator, illustrator for some reasons off sets the straight lines of the center of the circle. The off set is less than 1pt, but is still noticeable. And it does it every time.

How can I display different error bars for each point on a scatter graph?

I have a scatter chart in Numbers and I need to add error bars to the points along both the x and y axes, however, the size of the error bars for each point need to be of different sizes. Is there a way to accomplish this or is there some kind of work around to acheieve a similar result? So far the only way I can find to add error bars only allows a standard amount for each point.

Very new and very green to illustrator.
Have used only once or twice since i bought it.
Unfortunately when i need to use it now - it crashes
upon starting up.
I received the following error message:

Haven't a clue what to do!
Any help and direction would be most appreciated.

Updates can fail due to any number of system issue. They are more prone to failing if you alter the application in any way. On the Macintosh, popular applications such as Monoligual will remove application package contents and therefore cause updates to fail.
The easiest solution is to uninstall Illustrator CS5 using the uninstaller and then reinstall Illustrator CS5, then immediatlly run the 15.0.1 update.

Scatter Chart Error Bars Help

I'm new to using iWork for my lab reports and today, while I was plotting a scatter chart, I had to put some error bars on the points in percentage form. The value for the x-axis was 0.5% and the value for they y-axis was 1.5%, and when I tried to input these, the only thing I got was the error sound and the error bars returning to 3% and 1% respectively. Anyone know why this is happening and how i might resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Angelos,
I'm sure that your eyes are sharper than mine. Still, if your error bar is shorter than the radius of your symbol, you aren't going to see it. The standard symbols are roughly 4mm in diameter, based on the Numbers Rulers. Let's say you have a 100 mm tall chart, an average graphic size. A 0.5% error bar would be a maximum of 0.5 mm in length, unless you suppress the axis zero, and would be hidden behind the 4 mm dia. data symbol. Yes, you could see a 3% or 4% error bar, but I'm not sure everyone would recognize that it was an error bar and not part of the data symbol.
Regards,
Jerry

XY Graph, 2D Error Bar, Legend, Multi Plot Help? Please modify the VI

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST and HELP!
Please help with this VI and make it an instructive example for me and other novices like me who come across this typical example.
A typical problem in plotting data is as follows: On the SAME plot (Y-axis = Amplitude vs. X-axis = Time), plot the curves Amp1, Amp2, Amp3, ... coming from sample1, sample2, sample3, ...
Furthermore, there is Error1, Error2, Error3, ... associated with Amp1, Amp2, Amp3,...., which also needs to be plotted. In order to distinguish between these curves, one may use different
colors and show a legend that reads Amp1 (say black), Amp2 (say red), and Amp3 (say green). The plot then becomes complete and conveys data very conveniently.
The attached VI makes an attempt to plot Amp1 and Amp2 using XY Graph and also 2D Error Bar plot (to show error bars). There is one slight problem. The legend does not show what it is supposed
to show. Can someone fix this? If I plot two curves, the legend should show Amp1 and Amp2, if I plot three curves, the legend should show Amp1, Amp2, Amp3, and so on.
I don't want to see the default Plot 0, Plot 1, or whatever. Also, it would be nice to dynamically control the symbol, color, curve style etc, as we keep adding more and more curves to the plot.
Once this problem is fixed, I know I can easily extend it to make it plot more than just two curves in a dynamic way. I could use for loops with shift registers, etc to plot any number of curves on a single plot.
Believe me, I have searched for other posts and cannot find a simple example like the one I have posted here. Many examples I found have confused me more than helped me.
I believe that if this problem is solved in a simple way, many others will find this example very instructive. So by helping me, you help many other people as well!
Thank you in advance. Please see the attached files (the VI, and an example data file that I just created)
Solved!

I did verify that this works for XY Graph, but not for 2D Error Plot.
I need both legend and error bars. Shame on LabVIEW for not making such a basic plotting requirement easy and trasparent.
There are many clever people who can find work arounds, but that is a not a correct approach.

Error bars in Numbers for iPad?

Greetings,
One of the reasons I purchased an iPad was to work on the go. For me this means being able to create/edit docs, spreadsheets, and presentations in my iPad and then sync that work with my MBP at work.
I am finding some roadblocks when sharing work between devices (a first for me with Apple).
This specific question has to do with Numbers for the iPad:
- Is there a way to add error bars within Numbers for the iPad?
When I try to import a spreadsheet from Numbers in my computer the error bars get cropped as if they were some unnecessarily fancy font that didn't make it to the iPad version of the software. If there is no way to do this, does anyone know if there are plans to add this capability to the program?
I might be biased, but I have a hard time coming up with occasions when one would not need to add a measure of variability (error bar) to any graphic dispplay of data (save for ninth grade presentations maybe).
Thank you for your assistance!
Andres

Hi Andres,
iWork for iOS applications are in version 1, and in general provide a subset of the features of the Mac OS versions. Few of the users in this (Numbers) community are familiar with the iPad version, which probably explains the lack of response to yur question in the nine hours since you posted.
I expect you'll get a quicker (and more useful) response if you repost in the iWork for iOS area: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios?view=discussions

Error bars in keynote

Does anyone know how to manually insert individual error bars in a bar chart in keynote? the custom option is greyed out in keynote and when I tried it in Numbers I could only use the same value for all the columns rather than specify for each.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply; if this is the case then I must admit to being slightly disappointed. From looking at the Keynote tutorials I am aware that Keynote is not intended as an application through which to present scientific data, but because Apple usually include so many more useful features in their applications than Microsoft do (in my opinion), I thought they may have given us the option to add error bars to graphs and charts.

Error bars in Charts?

Hello everyone- Would anyone know how to create error bars in charts in Keynote 3? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere to this question. Many thanks to future replies...
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You can't get Keynote charts to generate error bars, or to use error bar information from some other source -- that functionality just isn't available in natively-produced Keynote charts.
However, charts that are copied from Excel and pasted into Keynote look quite good. You won't get all the cool textures, or 3D effects that you can with Keynote charts (and not having the latter is a good thing in my book). But, if you set the background of the chart to "None" from within Excel, the chart background will be transparent in Keynote, and you can do things like apply shadows that will conform to the chart elements. Any formatting that you do in Excel should be respected by Keynote.

Legend, error bars, 2nd y axis etc

Hello all,
Measurement Studio is a powerful program. But it's graphing functions need improvement. As a scientific tool, for example, the lack of plotting error bars in CWGraph is unforgivable. And many other essential functions for producing decent graphs are missing. So I attempted to try to fill in some gaps. The attached program intends to do following:
1) Plots x- and y error bars.
2) Legends for data sets,
3) Graph saving,
4) Graph printing
Notes:
1)Error bars are not plotted symmetrically. They can be improved.
2)Legends can be improved by making them automatically located in the empty part of the plotting area. And the routine doesn't work well for the logarithmic scale.
3)Since the point sizes are tied to line size, it is impossible to use larger symbols without increasing the size of the lines!
4)y axis and the 2nd axis labels as rotated have terrible looking fonts.
5)When printing to a pdf file, filename can be automatically set to a default filename so that a dialog box can be avoided.
I hope the attached program is useful.
Sincerely,
Cem
P.S.
The program plots 5 data sets. 4 of which use left y-axis, the last one uses the right axis. Only y error bars are plotted. (x error bars optional). The legend text appears on the left upper corner. User can enable/disable legend, lines connecting data points, error bars, and grid lines. When log axis is chosen, the legend placement is screwed up.

Thanks for sharing this with us Girit. I'm sure this will help out alot of people on the forum.
For your legend, this document provides another way you might be able to create a legend and not have to deal with finding an empty place on the graph.
Thanks again

How to put std dev error bars in a chart

Page 141 of the Keynote User Guide states that error bars can be shown on plotted series data. Can anyone get this to work as expected with standard deviation bars for each plotted mean value? I spoke with an Apple Tech Rep today who supposedly knows Keynote well, but he could not get std dev error bars to display properly on a line chart.
Numbers has the same instructions as Keynote and seems to be designed to work the same way.

"Properly" means placing the error bars around the mean values for each data point in a series. In my case, the x-axis is time in minutes and the y-axis is concentration of a chemical.

Linked charts: Error bars are not updated

Linked charts work well: Changed values for bar graph and line graph y values in Numbers are reflected in Keynote and Numbers after “updating”. However, I cannot get error bars to be updated as well. They just keep the values they had when I first paste a graph into Keynote or Pages.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

It seems that you missed something.
In the Pages User Guide we may read:
*+Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document+*
+If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers.
