Error range field setting rules

For example, if the field is set to 2 on the left Y-Axis, 3 on the right Y-Axis set the field for a total of five errors.

The error range fields match all the left Y-Axis fields first and then the right Y-Axis fields. For example, if added positive error fields in the order of PlusErrorField1 PlusErrorField2 PlusErrorField3 PlusErrorField4, and PlusErrorField5, the left Y-Axis in the order of LeftField1, LeftField2, and the right Y-Axis in the order of RightField1, RightField2, and RightField3, it is matched in the order of (PlusErrorField1 LeftField1), (PlusErrorField2 LeftField2), (PlusErrorField3 RightField1), (PlusErrorField4 RightField2), and (PlusErrorField5 RightField3).

Error bars are not visible, and, if the field value is null, or 0 and less than or equal to the error range mark is displayed.

If there is almost no difference between error values and the Y-Axis value, a line indicating the mark and the error range will be displayed. Note that, if the mark pattern is rectangle, the line may not be seen as the size of the line and rectangle are the same.
