I recently upgraded to Mathematica 10.2.0.0 for Linux (32-bit). In the past I have used the ErrorBarLogPlots package to put error bars on logarithmic plots of lists. When I make a simple ErrorListLogLogPlot, everything seems reasonable:

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True]

produces:

When PlotMarkers are added,

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

the error bars disappear:

When Joined is True, the error bars return,

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, Joined -> True]

What am I doing wrong?

    Reference for the package is in this Q&A. – Jens Aug 14 '15 at 00:20

    It seems to be the same problem that in PlotMarkers problem in ErrorListPlot, Mathematica 10 but this has been fixed in 10.1 as it belongs to the standard packages, contrary to the ErrorBarLogPlots package ... Look at the comments in that post, there seem to be a workaround using Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False} which "has to go before the PlotMarkers option for this to work" according to the user evanb. Maybe it will work in your case. – SquareOne Aug 15 '15 at 16:31

Addition of Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False} solves the problem:

Needs["ErrorBarLogPlots`"]

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk + i/3, 2 kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {i, 1, 3}, {kk, 1, 5}], 
 PlotRange -> {{1, 10}, {1, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, 
 Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False}]

  • I am running Mathematica 10.4.0. When I run all your example code I get the following error: Get::noopen: Cannot open ErrorBarLogPlots. >> Needs::nocont: Context ErrorBarLogPlots was not created when Needs was evaluated. >> What am I doing wrong? – mrz Apr 02 '16 at 05:26
  • You should download the package here and install it. – Alexey Popkov Apr 02 '16 at 05:45
