// where F_a(x) = [ f(x,a+da) - f(x,a-da) ] / 2,
//
// with f(x) = the plotted curve
// 'da' = error taken from the fit result
// Corr(a,a') = the correlation matrix from the fit result
// Z = requested significance 'Z sigma band'

// but may not be accurate in the presence of strong correlations (~>0.9) and at Z>2 due to linear and
// Gaussian approximations made

// In this method a number of curves is calculated with variations of the parameter values, as sampled
// from a multi-variate Gaussian p.d.f. that is constructed from the fit results covariance matrix.
// The error(x) is determined by calculating a central interval that capture N% of the variations
// for each value of x, where N% is controlled by Z (i.e. Z=1 gives N=68%). The number of sampling curves
// is chosen to be such that at least 100 curves are expected to be outside the N% interval, and is minimally
// 100 (e.g. Z=1->Ncurve=356, Z=2->Ncurve=2156)) Intervals from the sampling method can be asymmetric,
// and may perform better in the presence of strong correlations, but may take (much) longer to calculate
