R help - Jun 2009 - (Resolved) How to draw a line in plot when I know the start point(x1, y1) and end point(x2, y2)?

Thanks Jorge and Marc,

I drew the line using the function:

segments(x0, y0, x1, y1)

See ?segments which does just what you are looking for.

lines() is more designed for a series of connected lines (eg. a polygon) rather
than a single line segment.

abline() can draw a straight line, at a given vertical or horizontal position,
or if given a linear model object, the fitted line.
