[R] Lines in dotchart & dotplot ?

Is it possible to use dotchart or dotplot and set the
lines in such a way that they only extend from the
left y-axis to the data point?  

I seem to remember that Wm Cleveland did this in his
1985 book  "The elements of graphing data".

In cases where one has a true starting or O point on
the x-scale this layout seems to be very effective in
displaying some data. 

I know that I can do it by simple ploting lines and
points but a more polished function than I am likely
to produce would be nice.

Thanks
