Can I add (vertical) errorbars to a scatter plot?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi I would like a scatter plot, with multiple y-series, each with their own errorbars (standard deviation I have calculated of my data). But when I use the errorbar function it makes it into a line plot which is not what I want.
As you can see in my image, I have 2 y-series data (blue and red) and when I try to add errorbars to the blue series I get the line, which I do not want, I simply want the vertical errorbars on each point (variable standard deviation, which I have calculated).
Here is my current code:
"figure(1); scatter(D,Ml); hold on; errorbar(D,Ml,errMl,'k') ; hold on; scatter(D,Mw); hold on;"
Thanks for help

errorbar is apparently a function that explicitly plots a line with errorbars rather than just errorbars, so the fact you get a line is understandable. What is in errMI?

Got it...
figure(1); subplot(2,1,1); errorbar(D,Ml,errMl,'ro') ; hold on; errorbar(D,Mw,errMw,'bo') ; hold off;
