# hlines and vlines

This example showcases the functions hlines and vlines.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np

    t = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.1)
    s = np.exp(-t) + np.sin(2 * np.pi * t) + 1
    nse = np.random.normal(0.0, 0.3, t.shape) * s

    fig, (vax, hax) = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 6))

    vax.plot(t, s + nse, '^')
    vax.vlines(t, [0], s)
    # By using ``transform=vax.get_xaxis_transform()`` the y coordinates are scaled
    # such that 0 maps to the bottom of the axes and 1 to the top.
    vax.vlines([1, 2], 0, 1, transform=vax.get_xaxis_transform(), colors='r')
    vax.set_xlabel('time (s)')
    vax.set_title('Vertical lines demo')

    hax.plot(s + nse, t, '^')
    hax.hlines(t, [0], s, lw=2)
    hax.set_xlabel('time (s)')
    hax.set_title('Horizontal lines demo')

    plt.show()
