Re: [R] how to plot mean+/-SD from externally calculated values

2009-11-19 Thread Dan Kortschak
I appreciate the frank comments; I did try the examples on the help page, but as someone new to R programming (it still makes my head hurt) I missed the barplot example (I noticed it but assumed - now I know wrongly - that barplot was providing only numerical data for plotCI). I am sorry for my mi
