[R] Plotting lines to sets of points

[Jim Price]

# Create a matrix of ball locations
# You'd do this using the calls within your points function
balls <- matrix(c(0,50,25,-150,-100,-50), ncol=2, byrow=F)


# Draw a line from the origin to each ball location
apply(balls, 1, function(x) lines(c(125, x[1]), c(-210, x[2]), col='red'))



A more complete example might loop over all the unique elements of
framename$hit_traj, and then run this procedure for each value with a
different colour, plotting both ball points and trajectories.
