R help - Sep 2009 - connecting points on a graph

Hi,

I am trying to connect points on a graph that originate from *different
columns of data*. For each sample I have minimum and maximum data points and
I would like to draw a line connecting these in order to visualize the
spread, as well as where each sample is in relation to the x-axis. So far I
can generate the points, but the only lines I have been able to make join
all the minimum values together OR all the maximum values together. I would
like to graph the lines without having manually do one at a time. I have
included a sample of my data below.

I have attached a PDF file of what I would like the final product to look
like.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

cheers,
Jolene

Is this close to what you want:

x <- read.table(textConnection("locus min max
K9/10* 70 72
Pcc40 80 81
2F9 84 100
4E8/Pca12 96 108
Pau6 99 103
Pau20 100 113
Pau9 103 129
Pocc1* 104 128
Pau7 105 111"), header=TRUE, as.is=TRUE)
closeAllConnections()
x$row <- seq(nrow(x))
plot(0, type='n', ylim=c(0,max(nrow(x)) + 1), xlim=range(c(x$min,
x$max)))
segments(x$min, x$row, x$max, x$row)
points(c(x$max, x$min), c(x$row, x$row), pch=16)
text(x$min, x$row+.5, x$locus)
