Research direction

Start by comparing Plotly.NET's existing plotting APIs with the referenced Plotly Python entry points, add_hline and add_vline. Done means Plotly.NET exposes a way to add both horizontal and vertical guidelines, with behavior aligned to the linked Plotly documentation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In js version of plotly, it is possible to add horizontal and vertical lines.
I can't find that functionality in Plotly.Net.

See add_hline and add_vline in https://plotly.com/python/horizontal-vertical-shapes/
