Is this what you mean? dat1 <- data.frame( spd = c("s","f","f","s","f","s","s","s","f","f","s","f"), r = c(4.9,3.2,2.1,.2,3.8,6.4,7.5,1.7,3.4,4.1,2.2,5))
myplot<-ggplot(dat1, aes(spd, r, colour = spd)) + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=3, ymax=5), width=.1) + geom_point() + coord_flip() John Kane Kingston ON Canada > -----Original Message----- > From: adamjgabb...@gmail.com > Sent: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:03:44 -0400 > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] Error Bars ggplot2 > > Hello, > > I'm attempting to plot error bars side by side rather than stacked on top > of each other with ggplot2.
