How to do it...

The following code block plots five graphs with three in the first grid and two in the second grid. We plot a constant error bar and a symmetric and asymmetric error bar on the first grid, and all error bars and sampled error bars on the second grid:

1. Define the figure with its size and set the style to be used in this session:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,8))plt.style.use('seaborn-deep')

2. Define the function to plot a graph:

def plot_errorbar(axs, x, y, xerr=None, yerr=None, errevery=1,                   title=None, xlabel=None, ylabel=None, fmt=None):    ax = fig.add_subplot(axs)    ax.errorbar(x, y, xerr=xerr, yerr=yerr, errorevery=errevery,                 fmt=fmt)    ax.set(title=title, xlabel=xlabel, ylabel=ylabel)

3. Define the first grid gs1 with a 3 x 1 layout ...
