Error Bars
This web site builds the control from code behind but you could also grab it from the toolbox, this sample also uses a ViewModel to populate the properties of the control(s) in this sample.

Form code behind
using System.Windows.Forms;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WinForms;
using ViewModelsSamples.Error.Basic;
namespace WinFormsSample.Error.Basic;
public partial class View : UserControl
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="View"/> class.
/// </summary>
public View()
{
InitializeComponent();
Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50);
var viewModel = new ViewModel();
var cartesianChart = new CartesianChart
{
Series = viewModel.Series,
// out of livecharts properties...
Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0),
Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50),
Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom
};
Controls.Add(cartesianChart);
}
}

Error bard in line series
In the previous sample you can replace the ColumnSeries<ErrorValue> with LineSeries<ErrorValue> to create
a line chart with error bars:
In the previous image, the Fill, GeometryFill and GeometryStroke properties are null.
