Looking at the answers in the previous thread, I think the commenters are trying to answer your question but be missing the point. I assume you have horizontal errorbars that look like this |------*-------| and you want them to look like this: | | |------*-------| | | In this case, it would be the "height" aesthetic rather than the "width" aesthetic that you would want to modify the length of the end-caps on the bar. If this is *not* what you want, it would help if you could somehow draw a picture of your desired graph (e.g. manipulate the graph you have in an image editor, or use ASCII art as above) ... ______________________________________________ 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.
