Beisdes the standard IDL procedures already mentioned (e.g. PLOTERR,
ERRPLOT) you might want to look at PLOTERROR and OPLOTERROR in
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/plot/.     These are built on the
standard PLOTERR and OPLOTERR routines but have additional options, such
as both X and Y errors, _EXTRA facility, NAN value recogntion, plotting
only every nth error bar,  and the NSUM keyword.
