[R] Horizontal bar plot for lengthy data

[Bert Gunter]

If you insist on bars instead of points, then have a look at the type
="h" argument to plot.default().

In general, designing an effective plot typically depends both on the
nature of the subject matter, the data, and the intended audience, so
it is difficult (for me, anyway) to give a useful generic answer.

Cheers,
Bert
