Error bars
If you want to plot data with error bars just import your data with the import dialog into your project. Then use the Error bars tab of the curve properties to select Error type, choose the error column from the Data, +- list. Format of the error bars can be defined using the Format: pane.

TeX label
For using TeX label you just have to activate the switch button TeX in the Title tab. With that every text you enter in the text box is rendered by TeX and plotted accordingly. Since this conversion takes some time you may see a certain delay when redrawing the plot.
