I'm looking for more information on the "add contrast" function after I've performed an ANCOVA.  Without going into too much detail, the ANCOVA tells me that there is a significant difference in material properties between plants (n=20), and now I'd like to compare small (n=10) vs. large plants (n=10). 
 
Specifically, how do I report this contrast analysis for publication.  Are the "contrast" results identical to a "Scheffe's test?"  Can I simply call it a "contrast analysis" and then report the t-Ratio and p-value?
 
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
(I'm using v. 3.2.1, soon to upgrade to 4.0)
Thanks,
Patrick
