matplotlib.axes.Axes.axvline

Axes.axvline(x=0, ymin=0, ymax=1, **kwargs)[source]

Add a vertical line across the axes.

Parameters:
x : scalar, optional, default: 0

x position in data coordinates of the vertical line.

ymin : scalar, optional, default: 0

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

ymax : scalar, optional, default: 1

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

Returns:
line : Line2D
Other Parameters:
**kwargs :

Valid kwargs are Line2D properties, with the exception of 'transform':

vlines
Add vertical lines in data coordinates.
axvspan
Add a vertical span (rectangle) across the axis.

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)
