[R] Suppress horizontal mean line in beanplot()

The package docs seem to provide your answer -- you just need to read them
more carefully:
See the "what" argument of ?beanplot.
Setting the first entry of the vector to 0 would seem to suppress the
overall mean.

Apologies if I've misread/misinterpreted.


Cheers,
Bert
