Two things:
- you could use segments() to drw the lines
- you don't have to plot each point individually
Example
y <- rnorm(3*17, 11) #some data
g <- gl(3, 17) #Generate a grouping factor
stripchart(y~g, ylim=c(0.5,3.5)) #leave some space
#defaults to unit locations for groups
meds <- tapply(y,g,median) #get the medians in factor level order - same order
as stripchart
loc.strip <- 1:3
segments(meds, loc.strip-0.3, meds, loc.strip+0.3, col=2, lwd=3)
#adjust the line length with the 0.3 and the thickness with lwd as usual
