[R] Missing Data Line Type?

[OlsenN@pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca]

The dashed line can be added to the plot with a call to "lines" after
removing the NAs from your x/y vectors (I'm assuming 'missing' means NA).

> plot(x,y,type='l')
> lines(x[!is.na(y)],y[!is.na(y)],lty=2)

Vertical lines can be accomplished with "segments".

I have a general question.  Is there a setting that can be used for a
multiple line type?  The situation is that I want a solid line between x and
y points but if the y point is missing, I want a dashed line type to the
next point.  In other words, if point 1 to 2 exists, make that line solid,
otherwise, make it dashed up to the next existing x/y point.

Additionally, what plot type would you recommend for a plot with two Y
points per X?  The two points would be joined by a vertical line.  The
average of the two is the dual type line described above.
