How to use images as error bars

Question

So I'm trying to make a plot using error bars, but instead of errorbars, I'd like to use an image. Let's say we've got the following plot: Instead of these error bars, I want to use the image of a tie fighter (turned on its side) instead. So I've imported the image and turned it on its side. Now the problem I'm facing is how to scale and position it within the plot to function as error bars. Do any of you have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

EDIT: So I still can't figure it out, the problem probably lies in that I'm just using uncertainties in y. My code is as follows:

Import["http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/swmerchandise/images/4/45/\
Imperial_TIE_Fighter_(27644)_P.gif"];

Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]
tijd = {-3, -2, 0, 1, 2}; (*x axis*)
positie = {27.9, 10.2, 1.8, 9.5, 23.3}; (*y axis*)
onzekerheid = {0.5, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.9}; (*Uncertainty*)

errorplot = {{tijd[[#]], positie[[#]]}, 
ErrorBar[onzekerheid[[#]]]} & /@ Range[1, Length[tijd]];
position = Transpose[{tijd, positie}];

errorbar[pos_, err_] :=
  With[
   {s = 0.05},
   With[
    {
     corners =
      {{pos[[#]] - s, pos[[#]] - err[[#]]},
         {pos[[#]] + s, pos[[#]] - err[[#]]},
         {pos[[#]] + s, pos[[#]] + err[[#]]},
         {pos[[#]] - s, pos[[#]] + err[[#]]}} & /@ 
       Range[1, Length[pos]]
 },
{
 Texture[ImageRotate[fighter, \[Pi]/2]],
 Polygon[
  corners,
  VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 1}, {1, 1}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}}
  ]
 }
]
];

Answer 1

Import your image, you didn't provide one, so I chose this one:

im = Import["https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/star-wars-5/24/Tie-\
Fighter-128.png"];

This method works only with 2d errorbars:

ErrorListPlot[{{{1, 1}, ErrorBar[0.2, 0.3]}, {{2, 2}, 
   ErrorBar[0.2, 0.3]}, {{3, 4}, ErrorBar[0.2, 0.5]}, {{4, 8}, 
   ErrorBar[1, 2]}},
 ErrorBarFunction -> 
  Function[{coords, errs}, {Opacity[0.5], Texture[im], 
    Polygon[{coords + {errs[[1, 1]], errs[[2, 1]]}, 
      coords + {errs[[1, 2]], errs[[2, 1]]}, 
      coords + {errs[[1, 2]], errs[[2, 2]]}, 
      coords + {errs[[1, 1]], errs[[2, 2]]}}, 
     VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 1}, {1, 1}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}}]}]]

Answer 2

I used a slightly different ErrorBarFunction to Feyre so I thought I would share my solution too. This should also account for x errors:

errorbar[coords_, errs : ErrorBar[{xn_, xp_}, {yn_, yp_}]] := With[
  {s = 0.3},
  With[
   {
      pts = {
        coords + {xn - s, yn},
        coords + {xn + s, yn},
       coords + {xp + s, yp},
       coords + {xp - s, yp}
      }
    },
    {
      Texture[ImageRotate[img, \[Pi]/2]],
      Polygon[
        pts,
        VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 1}, {1, 1}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}}
      ]
    }
  ]
];

ErrorListPlot[
  Table[{i, RandomReal[0.5]}, {i, 10}], 
  ErrorBarFunction -> errorbar, 
  PlotStyle -> PointSize[Tiny]
]

Variables:

s : x scaling for better image size

xn, yn : negative error in x and y

xp, yp : positive error in x and y

img : your chosen TIE fighter image (I couldn't find a decent one labeled for re-use)
