# Example (JKQTPlotter): Filled Graphs with Error Indicators {#JKQTPlotterFilledGraphsErrorBars} This project (see [`filledgraphs_errors`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/filledgraphs_errors) shows how to draw filled graphs with different styles of error indicators. The source code of the main application is (see [`filledgraphs_errors.cpp`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/filledgraphs_errors/filledgraphs_errors.cpp): ```.cpp // 1. create a plotter window and get a pointer to the internal datastore (for convenience) JKQTPlotter plot; JKQTPDatastore* ds=plot.getDatastore(); // 2. now we create three columns for key and value size_t columnK=ds->addLinearColumn(9, 0.1*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI, 1.0*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI,"k"); size_t columnK2=ds->addLinearColumn(9, 1.1*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI, 2.0*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI,"k2"); size_t columnK3=ds->addLinearColumn(9, 2.1*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI, 3.0*JKQTPSTATISTICS_PI,"k2"); size_t columnV=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnK, [](double x) { return sin(x); }, "v"); size_t columnV2=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnK2, [](double x) { return -sin(x); }, "v2"); size_t columnV3=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnK3, [](double x) { return sin(x); }, "v3"); size_t columnE=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnV, [](double x) { return 0.2*x; }, "error"); size_t columnE2=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnV2, [](double x) { return 0.2*x; }, "error"); size_t columnE3=ds->addColumnCalculatedFromColumn(columnV3, [](double x) { return 0.2*x; }, "error"); // 3. create a graph in the plot, which plots the dataset with symmetric: JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph* graph1=new JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph(&plot); graph1->setKeyColumn(columnK); graph1->setValueColumn(columnV); graph1->setValueErrorColumn(columnE); // set error indicator style graph1->setValueErrorStyle(JKQTPErrorBars); graph1->setTitle(QObject::tr("JKQTPErrorBars")); plot.addGraph(graph1); // 4. create a second graph in the plot, which plots the second dataset with outer error bars only: JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph* graph2=new JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph(&plot); graph2->setKeyColumn(columnK2); graph2->setValueColumn(columnV2); graph2->setValueErrorColumn(columnE2); // set error indicator style graph2->setValueErrorStyle(JKQTPErrorPolygons); graph2->setTitle(QObject::tr("JKQTPErrorPolygons")); plot.addGraph(graph2); // 5. create a third graph in the plot, which plots the second dataset with outer error bars only: JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph* graph3=new JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph(&plot); graph3->setKeyColumn(columnK3); graph3->setValueColumn(columnV3); graph3->setValueErrorColumn(columnE3); // set error indicator style graph3->setValueErrorStyle(JKQTPErrorLines); graph3->setTitle(QObject::tr("JKQTPErrorLines")); plot.addGraph(graph3); // 6 autoscale the plot so the graph is contained plot.zoomToFit(); // 7. show plotter and make it a decent size plot.getPlotter()->setKeyPosition(JKQTPKeyInsideBottomLeft); plot.setWindowTitle(title); plot.show(); plot.resize(400,400); ``` The result looks like this: ![filledgraphs_errors](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/filledgraphs_errors.png) In order to draw horizontal error bars, you have to use `JKQTPFilledCurveYErrorGraph` instead of `JKQTPFilledCurveXErrorGraph`: ![filledgraphs_errors_hor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/filledgraphs_errors_y.png)
