Barplots are not well suited for presenting continuous data and many would argue that even for proportions, they should not be used to present CI's. You are better off using: 1. plotCI() in the gplots package: http://cged.genes.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/R_current/library/gplots/man/plotCI.html 2. plotmeans() in the same, which is a wrapper to the above: http://cged.genes.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/R_current/library/gplots/man/plotmeans.html 3. errbar() in the Hmisc package: http://cged.genes.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/R_current/library/Hmisc/man/errbar.html 4. arrows() and/or segments() in the default R installation, which can be used like errbar() to add CI's to points.
