Errorbar Plot

I am trying to use the errorbar function:

figure,errorbar(1:0.1:10,sin(1:0.1:10),0.1 * randn(length(1:0.1:10), 1))

and I get a plot that goes from (0,0) to (1,1) with the following data-points, respectively:

X=1, Y=0.84147, L=0.078467, U=0.078467

X=1.1, Y=0.89121, L=0.030862, U=0.030862

I would like the plot to look more like a sine wave with errorbars on the plot.

I realize this sounds confusing, so if you want to know anything else, please ask.

Thanks for reading!

When I restart matlab, I get the correct errorbar plot output, but after running some GUI code, the errorbar function doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts on how I could be screwing with the way the function executes? I dont have anything named errorbar in the code.

Since the points you mentioned appear to be the first two, I wonder if something is setting the axis limits and leaving them fixed. If you try "axis auto" or "clf" when you get in this state, does that improve things?
