> it looks more like a line

It is a line 🙂

`errorbars` has no specific legend overload so it just shows the one for the underlying `lines`. One could build a better one in principle, for example:

```julia
f = Figure()
Legend(f[1, 1], [[
    LineElement(linepoints = [Point2f(0.5, 0), Point2f(0.5, 1)]),
    MarkerElement(points = [Point2f(0.5, 0), Point2f(0.5, 1)], marker = :hline, markersize = 10),
]], ["errorbar"])
f

```
