Moving error bars in front or behind data points on scatter graphs with bar graph

If you create a graph with bars, error bars and points, Prism puts the error bars on top of the symbols. 

You can tell Prism to put the error bars below the symbols, but it requires a trick:

  1. Double click on the graph to bring up Format Graph.
  2. Drop the Global control at the top right to tell Prism that you want to change all data sets at once.
  3. Uncheck bars. (Need to do this to make the choice mentioned below become available)
  4. Find "Line and error go..." in the Lines portion of the dialog.
  5. Choose underneath.
  6. Check bars so you'll see them again.
