[R] Legend in plot: symbol for mean and standard deviation

[Marco Kienzle]

Dear list,


I attached to this mail an eps file containing an example that illustrate the problem: the
plot display dot+vertical lines while with the legend I am able only to
display dot+horizontal line.

Any help is appreciate,

cheers,
marco
