\title{geom\_linerange}
\description{An interval represented by a vertical line}
\details{
This page describes geom\_linerange, see \code{\link{layer}} and \code{\link{qplot}} for how to create a complete plot from individual components.
}
\section{Aesthetics}{
The following aesthetics can be used with geom\_linerange.  Aesthetics are mapped to variables in the data with the aes function: \code{geom\_linerange(aes(x = var))}
\itemize{
  \item \code{x}: x position (\strong{required}) 
  \item \code{ymin}: bottom (vertical minimum) (\strong{required}) 
  \item \code{ymax}: top (vertical maximum) (\strong{required}) 
  \item \code{colour}: border colour 
  \item \code{size}: size 
  \item \code{linetype}: line type 
  \item \code{alpha}: transparency 
}
}
\usage{geom_linerange(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", 
    position = "identity", ...)}
\arguments{
 \item{mapping}{mapping between variables and aesthetics generated by aes}
 \item{data}{dataset used in this layer, if not specified uses plot dataset}
 \item{stat}{statistic used by this layer}
 \item{position}{position adjustment used by this layer}
 \item{...}{ignored }
}

  \item \code{\link{geom_errorbar}}: error bars
  \item \code{\link{geom_pointrange}}: range indicated by straight line, with point in the middle
  \item \code{\link{geom_crossbar}}: hollow bar with middle indicated by horizontal line
