Help with a scatter diagram

HI all,

I am new to matlab and I would like to write a code to create a plot similar to this one:

Basically for each of my sample I have the data relative to the label in the x axis. Is there any way to create such a plot? I want to list those letters (La, Ce, Pr....) in the x axis and the corrisponding value in the Y axis (it is a semilog plot). Also I want to plot a vertical error bar! I have the data in an excel spreadsheet.

Thank you

A.

To plot the errorbars, use errorbar(x,y,neg,pos). Check out that link to get started (see examples within).

To specify the x axis ticks, follow this example

xlab = {'La','Ce', . . . ,  'Lu'};
set(gca, 'XTick', 1:numel(xlab), 'XTickLabel', xlab)
%    ^--axis handle

If you get stuck, show us your updated code and let us know where we can help.
