Is this close to what you want: x <- read.table(textConnection("locus min max K9/10* 70 72 Pcc40 80 81 2F9 84 100 4E8/Pca12 96 108 Pau6 99 103 Pau20 100 113 Pau9 103 129 Pocc1* 104 128 Pau7 105 111"), header=TRUE, as.is=TRUE) closeAllConnections() x$row <- seq(nrow(x)) plot(0, type='n', ylim=c(0,max(nrow(x)) + 1), xlim=range(c(x$min, x$max))) segments(x$min, x$row, x$max, x$row) points(c(x$max, x$min), c(x$row, x$row), pch=16) text(x$min, x$row+.5, x$locus)
