min-max bar

[jianbinfang]

Hi, I wonder whether the plotting tool support min-max bars which is similar to the error bar. The difference is that, error bars typically show the mean values and the variance, but the min-max bars should show the mean values and its distance to the min and max values. I wonder how to extend the tool to support the min-max bar?

If gnuplot supports it it should be possible to adapt the error bar code. Look at the yerrorbars conditionals in the script to see what it does today and what would need to be different: is the data format different? Can it be plotted with "with boxerror"?
