1 week ago Actually there was some confusion (on my part) about error bar plots without connecting lines, and scatter plots where symbols=True (which wouldn't show error bars). The way to get error bar plots without the line traces is to set the 'linestyle' option to the string 'None'. I've adjusted the lineplot code, tests, and example notebooks to reflect this.
With standard matplotlib line plots, the 's' keyword argument is used to specify marker sizes This is incorrect for error bar plots: 's' is an unrecognized keyword, and the line style, symbol, and color are all combined into a 'fmt' argument, which lineplot is not setting properly.
