Draw line segments between pairs of points.

For each i
, a line segment is drawn between the point
(x0[i], y0[i])
and the point (x1[i], y1[i])
. The
coordinate vectors will be recycled to the length of the longest.
The graphical parameters col

can be
vectors of length greater than one and will be recycled if necessary.
