matplotlib.pyplot.axhline

matplotlib.pyplot.axhline(y=0, xmin=0, xmax=1, **kwargs) [source]

Add a horizontal line across the axis.

Parameters:

y : scalar, optional, default: 0: y position in data coordinates of the horizontal line.
xmin : scalar, optional, default: 0: Should be between 0 and 1, 0 being the far left of the plot, 1 the far right of the plot.
xmax : scalar, optional, default: 1: Should be between 0 and 1, 0 being the far left of the plot, 1 the far right of the plot.

Returns:

Other Parameters:

**kwargs

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

draw a thick red hline at 'y' = 0 that spans the xrange:
```
>>> axhline(linewidth=4, color='r')
```
draw a default hline at 'y' = 1 that spans the xrange:
```
>>> axhline(y=1)
```
draw a default hline at 'y' = .5 that spans the middle half of the xrange:
```
>>> axhline(y=.5, xmin=0.25, xmax=0.75)
```
