I have an interval, say (1 to 100). Then I have many little subintervals:

  • (3,6)
  • (5,15)
  • (4,78)
  • ...

I want to plot and visualise them. I'm interested in how they overlap each other.

Q: What is the most appropriate data visualization tool for doing that?

The most common approach is to plot it as lines with whiskers, like on the example below (I'm using here ggplot2 with geom_errorbar as described in here).
