Can't find a way of adding errorbars to a Python ggplot plot. The following issue has been neglected for over a year. Nothing in the docs.

I had this same problem and found no solution. However I did find a way around it. You can use matplotlib in the style of ggplot. From there it's much easier to use error bars. I've attached an example of some code I used.

plt.style.use('ggplot')

This is an extract of one of my codes

df2.gLongCrFiltered['mean'].plot(kind='bar', yerr=df2.gLongCrFiltered['std'])

which returned thisenter image description here

I thought matplotlib might be the answer. I'm reluctant to learn a whole new plotting library but it seems I have no choice! – polyphant Oct 6 '15 at 10:57

There is a vast amount of support for it both here on SO and on their website. It's quite a nice piece of kit. There might be a way on ggplot but I searched for quite a while with no luck – OParker Oct 6 '15 at 10:59
