Well, "box and whiskers plots" present 5 values (on the same axis) instead of 3
for a classic error bar (often 2 when + and - are the same). So this is beyond
the actual feature request. Also, the width of the rectangle here has no
signification. It's interesting, but I don't think we should see the error
rectangles (or bars) as a particular case of "box and whiskers plots". Maybe we
could switch from one to another in the "general" tab of the combined settings
dialog proposed by Winfried and me.

If the user chooses error bars or error rectangles, the dialog would have the
simpler X and Y error tabs. These tabs would be replaced by a more complex "box
and whiskers" tab (your mockup in fact) if the user chooses this in the general
tab. Best of both worlds?
