 * As a ``str`` indicating which of the columns of plotting :class:`DataFrame` contain the error values.
 * As raw values (``list``, ``tuple``, or ``np.ndarray``). Must be the same length as the plotting :class:`DataFrame`/:class:`Series`.
 
-Asymmetrical error bars are also supported, however raw error values must be provided in this case. For a ``N`` length :class:`Series`, a ``2xN`` array should be provided indicating lower and upper (or left and right) errors. For a ``MxN`` :class:`DataFrame`, asymmetrical errors should be in a ``Mx2xN`` array.
