[FIXED] Can matplotlib errorbars have a linestyle set?

Issue

Is is possible to set the same linestyle to matplotlib errorbars than to the datapoints linestyle?

In the example below, two lines are plotted, one of them is dashed because of the ls='-.' parameter. However, the errorbar are solid lines. Is is possible to modify the style/look of the errorbars to match the results line?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.array(range(0,10))
y = np.array(range(0,10))
yerr = np.array(range(1,11)) / 5.0
yerr2 = np.array(range(1,11)) / 4.0

y2 = np.array(range(0,10)) * 1.2

plt.errorbar(x, y, yerr=yerr, lw=8, errorevery=2, ls='-.')
plt.errorbar(x, y2, yerr=yerr2, lw=8, errorevery=3)
plt.show()

Solution

It is trivial, changing the linestyle of the errorbars only require a simple .set_linestyle call:

eb1=plt.errorbar(x, y, yerr=yerr, lw=2, errorevery=2, ls='-.')
eb1[-1][0].set_linestyle('--') #eb1[-1][0] is the LineCollection objects of the errorbar lines
eb2=plt.errorbar(x, y2, yerr=yerr2, lw=2, errorevery=3)
eb2[-1][0].set_linestyle('-.')
