Try this:
# Set up the plot region
plot(yy ~ xx, type = "n")
# Draw the segments first
segments(x0, y0, x1, y1)
# Set the circle (pch) background colors
col <- c(rep("black", 3), "white", "black", rep("white", 3))
# Now draw the circles over the line intersections
points(xx, yy, pch = 21, bg = col, cex = 3)
The "unfilled" circles in this case are actually solid white or black.
So instead of altering the point character (pch), we alter the colors.
