I think you want the ?lines function.
To connect a point (x,y) to the x-axis,
lines(x=c(x,x),y=c(y,0))
...draws a line from that point to the x-axis. You may also want to specify
pch=c(?,""),type="b" where ? is the original point type (which you don't
want to "run over") and "" is the pch for t
[R] how to draw a vertical line from points to x-axis

Here's one way:
plot(0:10, 0:10, pch=16)
lines(rep(0:10, each=3), t(matrix(c(0:10, rep(c(0,NA), each=11)),
ncol=3)))

If your x-axis
