Re: [Matplotlib-users] Bar graphs showing up incorrectly until they are resized:

[federico v. <vag...@gm...>]

I think you are correct - and I think the fact that the line width of the
error bar is larger (compared to the size of the rectangle) gives the
impression the top rectangle is actually darker.

I see - it's just a matter of playing around with the error bar properties
to make it look pretty.

Thanks,

Federico
