You need to get the hang of reading the online help. The information required is actually there in ?dotchart --- it's just tersely and obscurely expressed. A certain degree of optimism is required.

Kenn Konstabel: [...] There's more to this trend: SPSS and Statistica now advertise "R language support": [...]

In real life, be very careful before denigrating a child to its mother or father... so calling a something a bug in R which is none, is evoking feelings among R's parents... ;-)
-- Martin Maechler (after a package author reported a bug in R that was actually a bug in his own code)
R-devel (May 2015) #Rstats

The widespread use of spreadsheets or SPSS data sets or SAS data sets which encourage the "single table with a gargantuan number of columns, most of which are missing data in most cases" approach to organization of longitudinal data is regrettable.

Barry Rowlingson: Really? They seem to be being handled automatically and frighteningly well by the Uwe-bot at the moment. Congratulations, you've passed the Turing Test.
-- Uwe Ligges and Barry Rowlingson (after several nonsensical mails to R-bugs)
