stat_smooth
to add lines derived from the
data, geom_hline
for horizontal lines,
geom_vline
for vertical lines
geom_segment
geom_hline
and
geom_vline
, it's useful for annotating plots. You
can supply the parameters for geom_abline, intercept and
slope, in two ways: either explicitly as fixed values, or
in a data frame. If you specify the fixed values
(geom_abline(intercept=0, slope=1)
) then the line
will be the same in all panels. If the intercept and
slope are stored in the data, then they can vary from
panel to panel. See the examples for more ideas.
