Select the simple bar from the high-low gallery and assign the same variable to high and low. Do not assign anything to the middle point.

Subject: Re: Dotplot without binning using menus?
ViAnn, many thanks for the reply, the "ELEMENT" suggestion works just fine. I managed to solve the problem by adding binWidth(1) to the structure set up by using menus:
ELEMENT: point.dodge.asymmetric(position(bin.dot(fordelning,binWidth(1))))
but this means that bins are set up, but narrow ones. Your suggestion is of course better.
As for the range range bar, it is a simple bar with min and max as in figure 3-56 in the GPL Ref Guide. I have got the syntax, but wonder if it is possible to achieve these using menus. Somewhere, I think I've managed to do so, but now I can't remember how it was done.

Chart Builder bins to graphically show tied values and there is control over binning within Chart Builder. You’ll have to use Paste and edit the syntax to remove the binning. The ELEMENT statement should look like this:
ELEMENT: point(position(varname))
Since your client is syntax averse, maybe you could create a program using python or basic and supply a very simple dialog box for her to use which would just take a variable selection.

Please describe your range bars. What distinguishes the top from the bottom. Are you aggregating and if so, using what summary measure.
