R help - May 2006 - plot xy data with error bars

Dear All, 
 
I have x,y data with errors associated with both x and y. What would be the
easiest way of creating plots with both x and y ?
 
Thanks

I know there is some function(s) in some package(s) for error bar
plotting but if you want to use your own, use arrows

A<-data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10, erx=rnorm(10)^2, ery=rnorm(10)^2)
plot(x,y)
arrows(x,y,x+erx/10,y, angle=90, length=.1)
arrows(x,y,x-erx/10,y, angle=90, length=.1)
arrows(x,y,x,y-ery/10, angle=90, length=.1)
arrows(x,y,x,y+ery/10, angle=90, length=.1)

Hi Tibi,

The plotCI function in the plotrix package will display error bars in 
the x or y dimension. The examples for the function show how to do it.
