[R] ylim in barplot2 function?

[John Kane]

I'm not sure exactly why it won't work but it could be
that conceptually a bar plot starting at 500 does not
make a lot of sense and the package writers did not
entertain such an idea?    

I'd suggest having a look at ?dotchart as an
alternative why to plot the data or perhaps have a
look at errplot() in Hmisc.  

If you really need a barplot you might have a look at
gap.barplot in plotrix.
