One way that we can construct these graphs is using R's default packages. Barplots using base R Let's start by viewing our dataframe: here we will be finding the mean miles per gallon by number of cylinders and number of gears. View(mtcar

The you will have a different length of the small bars on the right an the left side (the epsilon follows the x-values). You should better use the errbar function from the Hmisc package: d = data.frame( x = c(1:5) , y = c(1.1, 1.5, 2.9, 3.8, 5.2) , sd = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.0, 0.4) ) ##install.packages("Hmisc", dependencies=T) library("Hmisc") # add error bars (without adjusting yrange) plot(d$x, d$y, type="n") with ( data = d , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=T, pch=1, cap=.1) ) # new plot (adjusts Yrange automatically) with ( data = d , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=F, pch=1, cap=.015, log="x") ) share|improve this answer answered Sep 6 '13 at 14:21 R_User 3,20984683 add a comment| up vote 19 down vote A solution with ggplot2 : qplot(x,y)+geom_errorbar(aes(x=x, ymin=y-sd, ymax=y+sd), width=0.25) share|improve this answer answered Feb 25 '13 at 9:06 juba 24.2k56081 add a comment| up vote 18 down vote You can use segments to add the bars in base graphics. Here epsilon controls the line across the top and bottom of the line. plot (x, y, ylim=c(0, 6)) epsilon = 0.02 for(i in 1:5) { up = y[i] + sd[i] low = y[i] - sd[i] segments(x[i],low , x[i], up) segments(x[i]-epsilon, up

Points, shown in the plot are the averages, and their ranges correspond to minimal and maximal values. I have data in two files (below is an example). x y 1 0.8773 1 0.8722 1 0.8816 1 0.8834 1 0.8759 1 0.8890 1 0.8727 2 0.9047 2 0.9062 2 0.8998 2 0.9044 2 0.8960 .. ... r plot share|improve this question edited Oct 23 '12 at 15:10 Roland 74.1k463103 error bars in asked Oct 23 '12 at 14:29 sherlock85 1521313 Since you clearly don't want a boxplot, I changed the title of your question in order to reflect what you really want. –Roland Oct 23 '12 at 15:11 1 also plotrix::plotCI, gplots::plotCI, library("sos"); findFn("{error bar}") –Ben Bolker Oct 23 '12 at 17:29 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 52 down vote accepted First of all: it is very unfortunate and surprising that R cannot draw error bars "out of the box". Here is my favourite workaround, the advantage is that you do not need any extra packages. The trick is to draw arrows (!) but with little horizontal bars instead of arrowheads (!!!). This not-so-straightforward idea comes from the R Wiki Tips and is reproduced here as a worked-out example. Let's assume you have a vector of "average values" avg and another vector of "standard deviations" sdev, they are of the same length n. Let's make the abscissa just the number of these "measurements", so x <- 1:n. Using these, here come the plotting commands: plot(x, avg, ylim=range(c(avg-sdev, avg+sdev)), pch=19, xlab="Measurements", ylab="Mean +/- SD", main="Scatter plot with std.dev error bars" ) # hack: we draw arrows but with very special "arrowheads" arrows(x, avg-sdev, x, avg+sdev, length=0.05, a
|| is.character(x)) "" else as.character(substitute(y)), add=FALSE, lty=1, type='p', ylim=NULL, lwd=1, pch=16, Type=rep(1, length(y)), ...) Arguments x vector of numeric x-axis values (for vertical error bars) or a factor or character variable (for horizontal error bars, x representing the group labels) y vector of y-axis values. yplus vector of y-axis values: the tops of the error bars. yminus vector of y-axis values: the bottoms of the error bars. cap the width of the little lines at the tops and bottoms of the error bars in units of the width of the plot. Defaults to 0.015. main a main title for the plot, see also title. sub a sub title for the plot. xlab optional x-axis labels if add=FALSE. ylab optional y-axis labels if add=FALSE. Defaults to blank for horizontal charts. add set to TRUE to add bars to an existing plot (available only for vertical error bars) lty type of line for error bars type type of point. Use type="b" to connect dots. ylim y-axis limits. Default is to use range of y, yminus, and yplus. For horizonal charts, ylim is really the x-axis range, excluding differences. lwd line width for line segments (not main line) pch character to use as the point. Type used for horizontal bars only. Is an integer vector with values 1 if corresponding values represent simple estimates, 2 if they represent differences. ... other parameters passed to all graphics functions. Details errbar adds vertical error bars to an existing plot or makes a new plot with error bars. It can also make a horizontal error bar plot that shows error bars for group differences as well as bars for groups. For the latter type of plot, the lower x-axis scale corresponds to group estimates and the upper scale corresponds to differences. The spacings of the two scales are identical but the scale for dif
