[R] barplots with standard deviation

barplot returns a matrix of the x-centers.  You can use this to add to the
plot.

Say mp is what is returned by barplot, you could do something like
arrows(mp, heights, mp, heights + std.dev, angle = 90)

or use segments if you don't want the crossbar.

There's an example of this (and other things you could add to the
barplot) in the help file for barplot.

Hope this helps.
