Marking specific value in a histogram

Hi all!

I have mad a histogram showing some results of 10000 simulations. Now I would like to mark as clearly as possible (maybe with an arrow, or simply with specially designed bar) where does a particular value (original value, H0) fall into in this empirical distribution. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

I do this often to illustrate the threshold chosen on a histogram. I
use the line() function to draw a vertical line with a different color
than the bars of the histogram. You can choose the line width. You
could instead use the stem() function if you want to put a marker at
the tip of the line.

Thanks, the line() function is really handy in my case! Is there also some chance of putting some label (I will put the value in it) at the upper end of line?

Yes, with the text() function.
