========================
Errorbar limit selection
========================

Illustration of selectively drawing lower and/or upper limit symbols on
errorbars using the parameters ``uplims``, ``lolims`` of `~.pyplot.errorbar`.

Alternatively, you can use 2xN values to draw errorbars in only one direction.

errorbars.
