Example:


df <- rnorm(1000)
dim(df) <- c(100,10)
boxplot(data.frame(df))
aline <- apply(df, 2, max)

# , now you might want either
abline(h = aline, col = "green", lty="dotted")
# or
segments(seq(along = aline) - 0.2, aline,
          seq(along = aline) + 0.2, aline,
          lwd = 2, col = "red")
