R help - Nov 2007 - Boxplots illustrating the fixed effects in a lme object

Hello all,

I posted a similar question recently but I suspect that it was not well
enough formulated to trigger any answers. So I try again:

Is there a way to produce boxplots (or something similar) that uses the
estimated fixed effects of an lme{nlme} object? When I want to know the
mean, I use estimable{gmodels} together with an appropriate matrix. I did
look for a similar tool to estimable in gplots but did not find any.

As nearly everything is possible to do in R, the reason I did not get any
respons ought to be that the question is too trivial. So, please give me a
hint of how to proceed.

Cheers
/CG

As with many things, I suspect that someone has created plots of this  
sort, but no-one seems to have contributed a function to do so.  If  
you find/create one, send it to me and I'll be glad to include it in  
either gmodes or gplots as appropriate.

One place to check before writing one is Frank Harrell's Hmisc or  
design packages, which do have functions for plotting estimates and  
standard errors for (at least) standard glm's.  These might work for  
lme's as well...
