[R] set linetype with plotCI

[David Barron]

Looking at the source code for plotCI, I see that it calls plot with
type specified as "n" when  the error bars are not being added to an
existing plot, so you cannot use the type argument in a call to
plotCI.  If you want to add lines as well as points, I think you will
have to use lines(x,y,type="b",lty = plot_linetypes[graph_idx]) in
addition to plotCI, or amend the plotCI function to your own
specifications.
