    From ?par:

     ‘lend’ The line end style.  This can be specified as an integer or
      string:

      ‘0’ and ‘"round"’ mean rounded line caps [_default_];

      ‘1’ and ‘"butt"’ mean butt line caps;

      ‘2’ and ‘"square"’ mean square line caps.

    For example:

    plot(0:1,0:1,type="n")
par(lend=0); segments(0,0.2,1,0.2,lwd=8)
par(lend=1); segments(0,0.4,1,0.4,lwd=8)
par(lend=2); segments(0,0.6,1,0.6,lwd=8)

    or segments(0,0.2,1,0.2,lwd=8, lend=1) etc.
    enter image description here

    (You have to look pretty carefully to see the difference, especially between “butt” and “square” caps)
