dygraph vertical line

Question

Is there a way to make a vertical line in the js graph library dygraph?

I am loading data and would like to put vertical lines like graphite does to show events

is there some special context to add vertical lines

Answer 1

You've probably figured this out by now, or stopped caring, but the way to do this is with a custom underlay (see http://dygraphs.com/tests/highlighted-region.html and http://dygraphs.com/tests/underlay-callback.html for examples). You provide an underlayCallback function when creating the graph, and it gets called with the canvas element, area (which helps with coordinate math), and a reference to the Dygraph object.

Answer 2

Here is a simple solution.

Use the crosshair demo (http://dygraphs.com/tests/crosshair.html) on the Dygraph site.

Once you disable the horizontal bar on the crosshair sample, you are getting a vertical bar.
