Gnuplot barchart histogram with errorbars

Question

I want to the results of my benchmarks. I compare two virtual machines with each other and have data of the following form:

BENCHMARK VM1_TIME VM1_ERROR VM2

Answer 1

I had the same problem once. Here is the code from the gpl file which should lead to the desired result:

set boxwidth 0.9
set style fill solid 1.00 border 0
set style histogram errorbars gap 2 lw 1
set style data histograms
set xtics rotate by -45
set bars 0.5

if this does not work for you check out THIS link to "pastebin.com".
