SphericalProjAxes.axhline(y=0, xmin=0, xmax=1, **kwargs)¶

Add a horizontal line across the axis.

Call signature:

axhline(y=0, xmin=0, xmax=1, **kwargs)

Draw a horizontal line at y from xmin to xmax. With the default values of xmin = 0 and xmax = 1, this line will always span the horizontal extent of the axes, regardless of the xlim settings, even if you change them, e.g., with the set_xlim() command. That is, the horizontal extent is in axes coords: 0=left, 0.5=middle, 1.0=right but the y location is in data coordinates.

Return value is the Line2D instance. kwargs are the same as kwargs to plot, and can be used to control the line properties. e.g.,

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 the middle half of the xrange:
```
>>> axhline(y=.5, xmin=0.25, xmax=0.75)
```

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