Thank you very much, indeed I have mixing up the "x" and "y" values. Best, Rosalinde

Try this: library(plotrix) plotCI(means,uiw=stdev,col="red",lwd=3,pch=18,  cex=2,xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab='benefit',xlab='typo',  yaxs='i',xlim=c(0.6,3.5),ylim=c(0,8)) axis(side=1,at=1:3,labels=names(tmp),cex=0.7) plotCI(x=1:3+0.1,y=means,uiw=stdev,col="steelblue",  lwd=2,pch=18,cex=2,xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab='qualite',  xlab='type',yaxs='i',add=T) Jim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
