Improvements to error bars

Description

The horizontal 'tops and tails' of error bars appear to be of a fixed width. This doesn't look good if the bin is narrower that the error bar marker. N.B. We shouldn't just make them the same width as the bin - that would look ugly in the case of wide bins. One possibility is to get rid of the horizontal part entirely.

Possible future enhancement

Add an option to only plot every nth error bar (e.g. 3rd or 5th). This can improve the visual effect in the case where there are lots of bins, but you want an indication of the errors/
