Hi matplotlib developers, this is my first commit to matplotlib. I am using it heavily in a scientific context. I followed the How-to and send you an according patch for what I consider a bug. If it doesn't make sense, please be lenient with me for now, since it my first time. : ) As described in the subject line, I made the alpha keyword in the errorbar command act also on the error bars and not only on the markers. The previous behaviour seemed inconsistent. Cheers, Hans
Hi again, I send this patch to the mailing list two weeks ago and did not get any response. If you reject it, could you please explain why or how I should improve?

I see that you followed our documentation for submitting a patch: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/gitwash/patching.html Looking at your patch, I think it makes sense to do what you did. I only wonder if there are any other properties that should be taken care of here? Color? Linestyle? etc? Thoughts? Cheers! Ben Root Note to self: we need to update the docs to describe how to do Pull Requests on GitHub.
Hi! Thanks for the answer! I think the linestyle and the color settings are ok. error bars that are not just lines look very ugly, i would not even dare to make dashed or dotted ones. the color of the error bars can be set separately with elinecolor while the default is to use the color of the markers.
