I'm wondering if there is a possibility for Latex to display the error bars of a curve or series of data points as a shaded area rather than individual bars on the points; something like this question. I browsed through the pgfplots manual and found nothing of the sorts.
My idea so far is to plot the y-error and y+error as solids and fill the space between both of them, as is done in this other question.
An example of what I mean: the top image has regular error bars, and the bottom image has error bars as a shaded area (done with Python according to this question.
