It's straightforward with ggplot2:
install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame(id = c(1,2,3,4), parent = c(0,1,2,2), value =
c(5,5.5,7,3), date = c(1,2,3,3.5))
selfmerge <- merge(df, df, by.x="parent", by.y="id")
qplot(date, value, data=df) +
geom_segment(data=selfmerge, aes(x=date.x, xend=date.y, y=value.x,
yend=value.y))
