1. a vertical line that runs from (x,0) up to (x,y)
2. a point somewhere along that vertical line (probably at the
top), indicating the mean value of the signal y for that x-value.
3. two (or more) horizontal bars, one above the mean point, one
below, to indicate some kind of statistics (standard deviation, percentile
score, ... - basically some kind of error bar)
From Ugo's excellent tutorial, I can see how to put in the point (in 2. above) along with the lines. However, it's not clear how I can put in the vertical lines. I guess I can fulfill 1. and 3. by using subs.drawLine() function to draw the lines item by item. I'm just wondering if there isn't a more "built-in" way of doing this for the set as a whole.
Also, if I wanted to use a symbol for the point-markers in 2., is there any way for me to do that? Instead of just a dot, could I put in a 'star' (*), a cross (+) or some other textual symbol easily?
