I am not sure there is a function designed to do that. You can play with
plot(..., type="n"), and text(), e.g.:


# generate a table of Poisson counts
table(rpois(100,5)) -> tt
n <- length(tt)
# the following plot() command gives a blank device but sets the axes
# you may adjust the ylim option for your precise need
plot(1:n, type="n", xaxt="n", yaxt="n", xlab="", ylab="", ylim=c(1, 2),
bty="n")
# here also you may adjust the "1.5", "1.3", and "1.4" for your data
text(1:n, rep(1.5, n), dimnames(tt)[[1]])
text(1:n, rep(1.3, n), as.character(tt))
abline(h=1.4)


Hope this helps.
