All or nothing error bars

[jordanParticipant]

How DG team,

Quick question. Is there a way to reduce the number of error bars in a plot so that only every other point, or every 4th point is shown? With thousands of points in a plot, it can look a little messy. Thanks!

I guess one way to do it is to  use an expression column to create a mask (something like mod(#, 2)) and then use it to mask your error column.

As suggested, use an Expression column to mask the error bar values.  You can also using a Logical in a mask directly.

In the example below, there are two Points commands, one that only plots the points and the other that plots the points and an error bar.

The logical statement in the mask is ‘mod(v, skip)==0’, where skip is a slider that is set to integers from 1 to 10.  This way you can interactively change the number of values you skip.

Does this help with your case?
