[ncl-talk] Fwd: double error bars on a scatter plot

FYI: A 'scatter' example is available at:
       http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/scatter.shtml

See Example 12

The 'driver' has a few changes to illustrate making lines and markers
different colors, sizes and thicknesses.

THX to Rashed and Alan!
