feature request: set_data method for errorbar

[parkus]

It would be awesome to have a set_data method for an errorbar object. Using that method for a line object is very convenient when I make complicated plots with labels, text, and so forth. Clearing the entire plot and redrawing everything just to plot some different data is a pain, and I am unable to figure out how to clear just the errobar lines. Even if I could, however, a set_data method would still be more convenient.

This is something that is already on the table for 1.5 (via the high-level semantic object proposal (MEP 25) )

Great!

@xnaxe29 I would try searching through the closed pull requests. To look at those, click the "Pull Requests" Tab above, then in the "filter" box, change is:pr is:open to is:pr is:closed and add your query to that box.

Any progress on a set_data() for errorbar plots? I'm running into this issue now, myself. It hurts.

Not that I know of. Should be relatively straightforward if someone were strongly motivated ;-)

[davidfokkema]

Severely time-constrained at the moment, unfortunately.

You can have a look at #4556, and perhaps somebody should work further to implement a PR.
