quickest way to make a grouped line graph (multiple line graph with error bars from standard deviation)
multiple line line graph. . multiple sample line graph. . line graph with many lines one for each sample
method 1: use Deducer with a table that already has the means and the standard deviations
-see also: automatically get mean and stdev of groups 05-16-2014d1449
-rearrange the data if neccessary so that the mean is in a column and the stdev is in a column
-plot builder->grouped line->set x, y, and group->geometric elements->error bar->set x, ymin, ymax, group by color, alpha, size, etc.
--when I first tried to do this it didn't work because it said I needed the hmisc package. I tried to install the package, but it didn't work. I installed the R Studio software, and then everything worked in Deducer (installing R studio must have installed the hmisc package). Later I had the problem again, even though I had R Studio installed. I tried adding the package in R Studio. . things still didn't work. I installed the package from the Deducer software, and then everything worked.
method 2: use the JMP graph builder with the raw data
-graph->graph builder->drag x variable to x->y variable to y->choose line graph type (from picture)->drag group to overlay->choose summary statistics and error bars
--I don't know how to change the look of the error bars though. they appear to be as strong as the regular lines
