error bars

[jsudheer]

Dear developers,
Is there a way to add error bar to a ts.plot object? for example I have a time series and I need to plot the standard deviation along with the data how do I do that ?
Thanks
Sudheer

why don't you make a frame and just plot multiple series, see: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/visualization.html

there's also errorbar in matplotlib...

Thank you,

Yes, I have seen that, but that won't allow to have the time axis like
month year style.
with best regards,
Sudheer

@jreback i think a pd.plotting.errorbar() for frames/series line/bar plots might be nice, unless there's a better way to do it.

you can plot multiple series but u end up having to use the mpl api, which imho is partly why i use pandas...to avoid that beast as much as possible (even though it's power for producing publication graphics is kind of ridiculous).

and what if u want to add a fill for example...again maybe this is already there, i haven't used plotting stuff in a while...

[jreback]

maybe

s = Series

s.plot(error_bar = [-1,1])

equiv to:

df = DataFrame(dict(s = s, top = s.std(), bot = -s.std())).plot()

bottom seems the right way to do this....

ok i will make an issue

closed since there's now #3796.
