I am having trouble compiling the attached mwe. I receive the following message: "Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/y error plus index' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it." The tikz picture was created by matlab2tikz so I am surprised it doesn't compile. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong?

\documentclass[a4paper,titlepage,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning, arrows}
\usetikzlibrary{external}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[%

\addplot [color=blue,only marks,mark=*,mark options={solid},forget plot]

  • Welcome to TeX SE! Thanks for providing a complete example. That code works fine here, though. By the way, why are you loading external when you do not enable externalisation? – cfr Jun 08 '14 at 00:07

    Asymmetric error bars have been added for pgfplots 1.9 (current stable is 1.10). Maybe your version is outdated and does not contain the feature? – Christian Feuersänger Jun 08 '14 at 20:43
  • I have got to start typing faster. – John Kormylo Jun 28 '14 at 15:26
  • I'm getting the same error when submitting to arXiv. Does anyone know an elegant way to get around this without resorting to standalone pdfs? – Andrew D. King Sep 03 '15 at 22:19

Your code work with TexLive 2014.

Here is the result
