3D errorbars#

An example of using errorbars with upper and lower limits in mplot3d.

# setting up a parametric curve
t = np.arange(0, 2*np.pi+.1, 0.01)

ax.errorbar(x, y, z, 0.2, zuplims=zuplims, zlolims=zlolims, errorevery=estep)

ax.set_xlabel("X label")
ax.set_ylabel("Y label")
ax.set_zlabel("Z label")

plt.show()
