## Produce two-dimensional plots using a logarithmic scale for the @var{x}
## axis and errorbars at each data point.
##
## Many different combinations of arguments are possible.  The most common
## form is
##
## @example
## semilogxerr (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{ey}, @var{fmt})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## which produces a semi-logarithmic plot of @var{y} versus @var{x}
## with errors in the @var{y}-scale defined by @var{ey} and the plot
## format defined by @var{fmt}.  See @code{errorbar} for available formats and
## additional information.
