[R] Plotting confidence intervals with ggplot, in multiple facets.

[Jeff Newmiller]

ggplot(dta,aes(x=Ndat,y=estimate, ymin=lower,ymax=upper))+
  geom_point() +
  geom_errorbar(width=30) +
  facet_grid(param~1) +
  theme_minimal()

Width parameter seems odd... play with it I suppose.

For facets, you can also use facet_wrap(~param, ncol=1).

ggplot is very much about the data and the aes mapping... the more you try to manually tweak it the more messed up it tends to get.
