Should be between 0 and 1, 0 being the bottom of the plot, 1 the top of the plot.

ymaxfloat, default: 1

Should be between 0 and 1, 0 being the bottom of the plot, 1 the top of the plot.

Returns:
Line2D
Other Parameters:

vlines

Add vertical lines in data coordinates.

axvspan

Add a vertical span (rectangle) across the axis.

axline

Add a line with an arbitrary slope.

Examples

  • draw a thick red vline at x = 0 that spans the yrange:

    >>> axvline(linewidth=4, color='r')
    
  • draw a default vline at x = 1 that spans the yrange:

    >>> axvline(x=1)
    
  • draw a default vline at x = .5 that spans the middle half of the yrange:

    >>> axvline(x=.5, ymin=0.25, ymax=0.75)
