Description
The pygmt.fig.plot
method has an error_bar (E) argument that isn't very usable right now. Ideally we would be able to pass in a list or numpy array of error values (e.g. standard deviation).
As agreed above, we'll figure out how to pass in an 'error' column with
error_bars (E)
and rename 'sizes' to 'size' in a separate PR next time.

There's also a Python package called uncertainties
at https://github.com/lebigot/uncertainties/ which wraps error values around numpy arrays, it might be cool if we can integrate that with pygmt
somehow! I.e. pass in an uncertainty
array to fig.plot()
and have it plot the error bars directly. Also could tie this in with the pint
package at https://github.com/hgrecco/pint which has a concept of "Measurements" that includes the error with numbers.
