Or a simple approach is to use arrows to draw the CI whiskers
Example
======================================================================
# Uses arrows to produce confidence intervals for a set of values.
low <- c(312.9460, 312.9419, 312.9422, 312.9380 )
mass <- c(312.9476, 312.9435, 312.9438 , 312.9396 )
high <- c(312.9492, 312.9451, 312.9454, 312.9412)
yaxis <- seq(1,4,by=1)
plot(x = mass, y = yaxis, pch=17, xlim = c(312.9378,312.9500), axes=FALSE,
xlab = 'mass', ylab = '', main = 'Mass/Intensity Problem')
labs <- seq(312.8, 312.95, by = 0.0005)
axis(1, at = labs, labels = labs)
axis(2, at = yaxis, las = 2)
arrows(x0 = low, x1 = high, y0 = yaxis, y1 = yaxis,
length=0.1, code = 3, col = 4, angle = 90)
box()
