matplotlib.pyplot.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:

Other Parameters:

**kwargs

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

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)
```
