plot.means(): plot means and 95%CIs
Simple function that plots means as individual points (not bars) & approx. 95% confidence intervals using user-supplied means & standard errors. (It can also take pre-calculated CIs). It provides some feed back via the console & on the plot itself regarding errors and how to make the plot more polished.

Simple function to plot means w/95% CIs
The is a simple function that plots means as individual points (not bars) & approximate 95% confidence intervals using user-supplied means & standard errors. It provides some feed back via the console & on the plot itself regarding errors and how to make the plot more polished.
Why does tapply() not work?
tapply() doesn't have a "data = ..." argument and so needs to be told explicitly where to find your data.
