Errorbar lines are not present in the Qt NavToolBar --> curves tab #18631
Description
I would like to be able to interactively change various aspects of an error bar plot (in a Qt window), such as line width/colour/marker size.
This is possible for a normal Qt plot, you can do this with the NavToolBar button that opens a Figure options GUI. There is a curves tab that displays these options for each of the plots on the graph.
However, errorbar plots don't show in the curves tab, so it's not possible to interactively set their properties. Why don't those plots show in the curves tab?

Because the code that populates that part of the UI
matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/qt_editor/figureoptions.py
Lines 68 to 74 in fcb6296
The details of the internal storage is being changed (see
#18216) but there is stable public API to get the "containers" and add them to this list.
