You can use points() or lines() to add points or lines to an existing
plot. See the help pages, there are a lot of examples on how to use
these functions. Use legend() to add a legend to a plot (and there are
also a lot of examples on how to use legend()). But you can also build
your legend with text(), polygon(), lines() etc if you prefer a flexible
style. See (for example)
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/rpsych.pdf on how to build a
legend with text(), polygon() etc.
