Error bar on probability distribution function

Dear Matlab Community,
I have this set of data and I need to graph PDF and put error bars (std) on it. Would you please help me on this?
have written this for graphing PDF, but I do not know how to add error bar? or shaded error.
load ("diameter2.mat")
pd = fitdist(diameter_TAC','Kernel','Width',4);
x = 0:1:25;
y = pdf(pd,x);
z = plot(x,y,'k-','LineWidth',2);
Thank you !!

Hi Neda,
The standard deviation represents the data spread around the mean and used to plot the error bar on the probability distribution plot by using the “errorbar” function. The standard deviation is used as the parameter for the errorbar height.
The code below shows the plotting of the error bars on the pdf plot:
data = diameter_TAC';
% Calculate the standard deviation of the data
std_dev = std(data);
% Plot the PDF
figure;
plot(x, y, 'k-', 'LineWidth', 2);
hold on;
% Add error bars
% plot them at each point of x.
errorbar(x, y, repmat(std_dev, size(x)), 'k.', 'LineWidth', 1);
Kindly refer to the below documentations of “repmat” and “errorbar” for more details:

The scale is to align the stds to the pdf value by scaling the stds value relative to the maximum value of the PDF. You can use the custom scaling factor to adjust the height.
