Plots multiple lines based on a vector x and a matrix y,
draws thin vertical lines connecting limits represented by columns of
y beyond the first. It is assumed that either (1) the second
and third columns of y represent lower and upper confidence
limits, or that (2) there is an even number of columns beyond the
first and these represent ascending quantiles that are symmetrically
arranged around 0.5.
a numeric matrix with number of rows equal to the number of
x elements
pos
when pos='left' the vertical lines are drawn, right
to left, to the left of the point (x, y[,1). Otherwise lines
are drawn left to right to the right of the point.
col
a color used to connect (x, y[,1]) pairs. The same
color but with transparency given by the alpha argument is
used to draw the vertical lines
lwd
line width for main lines
lty
line types for main lines
lwd.vert
line width for vertical lines
lty.vert
line type for vertical lines
alpha
transparency
grid
set to TRUE when using grid/lattice

Examples
x <- 1:4
y <- cbind(x, x-3, x-2, x-1, x+1, x+2, x+3)
plot(NA, NA, xlim=c(1,4), ylim=c(-2, 7))
multLines(x, y, col='blue')
multLines(x, y, col='red', pos='right')
