error bars without the y value crossbar?

[Roope]

Hi,

I would like to plot errorbars so that the y value is not visible.

Setting "set bars 0" makes crossbars at each end of the error bar
disappear. But how to make the crossbar representing the y value
disappear? Is it possible?

Thanks,
Roope

That's no crossbar you're looking at --- it's a point symbol, just like
the ones used by plots "with points". It looks like a crossbar because
you've only looked at plots with a single errorbar dataset, and the
first point symbol is a '+', of which you only see the horizontal bar.

This explains why the answer is

plot 'data' with errorbars pt 0
