## Produce 2-D plots using a logarithmic scale for the y-axis and
## errorbars at each data point.
##
## Many different combinations of arguments are possible.  The most common
## form is
##
## @example
## semilogyerr (@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}.  @xref{XREFerrorbar,,errorbar}, for available
## formats and additional information.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
