Default plot settings for fplot and errorbar

I found that the default plot settings that apply to plots in general don't apply to certain types of plots.

For example:

set(groot, 'DefaultLineLineWidth', 5);
plot(1:10,1:10);

gives the expected result with an increased line width.

But:

set(groot, 'DefaultLineLineWidth', 5);
errorbar(1:10,1:10);

keep default line width. The same thing happens with fplot.

Is it a bug or is it the expected behavior?

Does anyone know how to change the default line width for errorbar or fplot?

Instead of doing:

set(groot, 'DefaultLineLineWidth', 5);

use the following:

set(groot, 'DefaultErrorBarLineWidth', 5);

The documentation page here shows the syntax for specifying default values: 'default' + ObjectType + PropertyName. If you run:

p = plot(1:10)

you can see that p is a "Line" object, whereas running:

e = errorbar(1:10,1:10)

shows that e is an object of type "ErrorBar" with its own default settings for LineWidth.
