for my problems with the error bars (look at: Assigning ..) first a comment, then a question
• The problem seems to be somewhat related with the datastyle in plot templates (*.otp) If I have a worksheet with predefined x-errorbars and plot it via worksheet -p mytemplate.otp things work o.k as long as I do not try to save any data style option with the template. If I try to do so it is even impossible to plot 2 datasets with y-errorbars into one layer. (The program just forgets the second error bar (I only get 3 datasets, x,y1- x,dy1,-x,y2)...
• A possible solution for the X-error bar problem could be to change the error bar options a posteriori. I can access the error bar menu via menu -e 792. The manual describes how to change and manipulate popup menus, but can I do the same with such a "child window"? Is there a simple code ( a menucheck or something like that) to get e.g. the X-error-bar- options checked or is it impossible to manipulate such submenus
