## Add Connected Line Segments to a Plot

## Usage

    lines(x, ...)
    lines.default(x, y=NULL, type="l", col=par("col"), ...)

## Arguments

`x, y` | coordinate vectors of points to join.
`type` | character indicating the type of plotting; actually any of the `type`s as in `plot(..)`.
`col` | color to use.
`...` | Further graphical parameters (see `par`) may also be supplied as arguments, e.g., `lty`.

## Description

`lines` is a generic function taking the coordinates given in the `x` and `y` vectors and joining the corresponding points with line segments. The coordinates can alternatively be passed to `lines` in a plotting structure (a list with x and y components), a time series, etc.

## See Also

`points`, `plot`, and the underlying ``primitive'' `plot.xy`.

## Examples

    data(cars)
    # draw a smooth line through a scatter plot
    plot(cars, main="Stopping Distance versus Speed")
    lines(lowess(cars))
