Hi Denis, there is no "if", only "how" in R ;) how about this:
rmail2<-read.table(textConnection("item, min, int_1, int_2, max a, 2.5, 3, 4, 5.5 b, 2, 3.5, 4, 4.5 c, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5"),header=T,sep=",") with(rmail2,symbols(item, (int_1+ int_2)/2, boxplots=cbind(.25, int_2-int_1, int_1-min,max-int_2,0),inches=F,ylim=range(rmail2[,-1]),xaxt="n",ylab="")) axis(1,seq_along(rmail2$item),labels=rmail2$item) hth.
