[?] Plot error bars on three vectors of data?

Questions
1

Hello everyone.
I have three vectors of data, the first one is the propper information, the other ones are the error in both X and Y axis. I want to plot them as in this example: ErrorBar—Wolfram Documentation; however, the information here has been introduced manually. Is there a way to program this to be read from three vectors for the error on both axis plus the obtained values?

I have tried with this, but it does not work:

g1 = ErrorListPlot[{meanx1, meanx2}, ErrorBar[stdx1, stdx2]]

Aditionally I adjoint an image of an attempt I have made to plot this data in case it can help.

Thanks for reading

Jaime,

Use MapThread to construct your list of data in the right format:

data = MapThread[{{#1, #2}, ErrorBar[#3]} &, {times, vals, errors}]

Then Plot with

ErrorListPlot[data]

Note that ErrorListPlot is no longer supported in Version 12 (when released) and the functionality will be built into ListPlot.

Regards,

Neil

or if you have different positive and negative errors:

data = MapThread[{{#1, #2}, ErrorBar[#3, #4]} &, {times, vals, errors,
    errors2}]

Thank you very much Neil. It works perfectly.
