_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Plots minimum and maximum ranges.

     Takes as input either a lim list, as generated by Setup or a set
     of vectors specifying the minimum, maximum and the central value,
     or a data.frame that contains min, max and central values.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    min : minimum value. 

    max : maximum value. 

  value : median or mean value. 

    lim : a list that contains the linear inverse model specification,
          as  generated by function 'setup.limfile'. 

   file : name of the inverse input file. 

 labels : names of each value. 

    type: one of "X" or "V" for plotting of unknowns (X) or variables. 

    log : if = x: logarithmic scale for x-axis. 

    pch : pch symbol used for mean value. 

pch.col : pch color for mean value. 

line.col : color for each variable, spanning x-axis. 

seg.col : color for variable range. 

   xlim : limits on x-axis. 

   main : main title. 

   xlab : x-axis label. 

   ylab : y-axis label. 

lab.cex : label expansion value. 

   index: list of elements to be plotted, a vector of integers; default
          = all elements. 

    mark: list of elements to be marked with a "*", i.e. when range is
          unbounded. 

    ... : arguments passed to R-function "text" when writing labels. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Only when a lim list was inputted. A data frame with 

    min : the minimum. 

    max : the maximum. 

 values : the central value.
