Errorbar overlapping with the left and right border of a plot

a = [1,2,3,4;5,6,7,8] 
errorbar(mean(a),std(a))

The two lines of code above generate an line of mean value with errorbars. However, the leftmost and the rightmost errorbar overlapped with the left and right border of the plot. Is there anyway to avoid it?

Add an xlim (or axis) call —

a = [1,2,3,4;5,6,7,8] 

a = 2×4

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

figure
errorbar(mean(a),std(a))
xlim(xlim+[-1 1]*0.2)                                       % <— ADD THIS

Make appropriate changes to get the desired result.
