Confidence intervals plot

Hi all!! I am trying to plot several confidence intervals in a unique plot. That is, for each x, I have a confidence interval for a parameter related to x and I would like to plot them in the same plot, in order to compare them. The plot would look like some parallel vertical lines, each one corresponding to a x value. Their extrem points would be the confidence interval limits.
I do not know if I am clear enough. Anyway, thank you in advance.
Suppose the upper limits are in U, the lower limits in L, and the x values in X. Then # set up the axes etc. plot(X, U, ylim=range(c(L,U)), type='n') segments(X, L, X, U) will do what you describe. You should also look at arrows(), in case you want points or crossbars on the ends of the segments. Duncan Murdoch
