This should be simple but I can't find the answer. All I want to do is add a line to a plot drawn at a specific y value starting at a specific x value and ending at a specific x value. The abline function doesn't seem to have a start and end parameter. How do I do this in r for normal (non ggplot) plots

1`abline(h=pvalue)` for a horizontal line at the p-value – Marc in the box Apr 20 '15 at 07:55

3Do you mean drawing a `segment`? – Apr 20 '15 at 07:56

Yes that worked. I guess in the end its about finding the right word to google. I used this---par(lend=2);segments(1,37,2,37,lwd=6) – Sebastian Zeki Apr 20 '15 at 08:04

1Or `lines()`, where you simply repeat your y value twice. – Stephan Kolassa Apr 20 '15 at 08:29

Nope. thats for ggplot. This is for base plots – Sebastian Zeki Apr 20 '15 at 21:55

In a general case, to plot a line from point (x_1, y_1) to point (x_2, y_2), simply use lines(c(x_1, x_2), c(y_1, y_2))
