Hello,

The function 'arrows' with angle=90 can do the job.

mydata <-
data.frame(mean=c(0.42,0.41,0.41,0.43,0.45,0.43,0.43,0.42,0.44,0.45,0.45,0.45,0.46,0.43,0.42,0.37,0.44,0.46,0.46,0.39,0.40),
sdUP=c(0.58,0.56,0.55,0.57,0.61,0.55,0.57,0.59,0.61,0.60,0.57,0.60,0.62,0.57,0.59,0.56,0.57,0.61,0.61,0.56,0.54),
sdDOWN=c(0.26,0.26,0.28,0.29,0.30,0.30,0.29,0.26,0.28,0.31,0.34,0.30,0.31,0.30,0.25,0.19,0.31,0.31,0.31,0.22,0.25))

x <- 1:nrow(mydata)
with(mydata, plot(1, type="n", xlim=c(1, nrow(mydata)), ylim=c(min(sdDOWN), max(sdUP))))
with(mydata, points(x, mean))
with(mydata, arrows(x, mean, x, sdUP, angle=90, length=0.1))
with(mydata, arrows(x, mean, x, sdDOWN, angle=90, length=0.1))


Hope this helps,

The function i am looking is a bars from the mean points of the plot in
boxplot style. I tryed several forum but I have no clear the way to create
these bars.

  Dear Researchers,
sorry for this simple question. I  have a point plot with mean values and
i
wish to plot line with Standard Deviation as "Whiskers". I calculate the
mean+sd and mean-sd, but i can not figure out the way to add the line.

mydata<-
data.frame(mean=c(0.42,0.41,0.**41,0.43,0.45,0.43,0.43,0.42,0.**
44,0.45,0.45,0.45,0.46,0.43,0.**42,0.37,0.44,0.46,0.46,0.39,0.**40),

sdUP=c(0.58,0.56,0.55,0.57,0.**61,0.55,0.57,0.59,0.61,0.60,0.**
57,0.60,0.62,0.57,0.59,0.56,0.**57,0.61,0.61,0.56,0.54),

sdDOWN=c(0.26,0.26,0.28,0.29,**0.30,0.30,0.29,0.26,0.28,0.31,**
0.34,0.30,0.31,0.30,0.25,0.19,**0.31,0.31,0.31,0.22,0.25))

plot(mydata$mean,
   type="o",
   ylab="mean",
   xlab="class")

thanks in advance and sorry for any disturb

If you tried lines() usin either sdUP or sdDOWN you saw nothing because
the ylim was set by default using ony hte information in the mean vector.

Try:

plot(mydata$mean,
+    type="o",
+    ylab="mean",
+    xlab="class", ylim=range(c(mydata$sdUP, mydata$sdDOWN)))
lines(mydata$sdDOWN, col="blue", lty=3)
lines(mydata$sdUP, col="blue", lty=3)
