Subject: change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package)
In-Reply-To: <0947DF83-CD80-4757-91EA-72DF6C07F042@googlemail.com>

There does not appear to be any such function as barplot2 in
the current version (3.4-5) of the plotrix package.  Moreover
I can find no reference to such a function in the "NEWS" for
plotrix.

     cheers,
