I think I found a simple solution, although it requires some tinkering to find the x,y coordinates of the plot region to place the text...
barplot ( ) text(x= 2.9, y = 0.43, srt=90, labels = "H", cex = 1.5, col="blue") #srt rotates the "H" character, so that it resembles an error bar text(x=3.5, y=0.432, labels = "95% C.I.", cex=1.1) rect (2.62,.41,3.9,.45) #draws box around text [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
