[R] Plot help

[jim holtman]

I think that your first problem is that you have a very large range of
values and the CIs are small in comparison, so you won't see any
difference on the plots.  Do you want to plot each of the 35 values
showing the complete range and then where the actual value lies either
inside/outside the range?

Maybe you need to scale your data so at least everything is in a
similar range.  Are you just trying to show the spread of each
individual group, or all together?
