"""
==============
Infinite lines
==============
`~.axes.Axes.axvline` and `~.axes.Axes.axhline` draw infinite vertical /
horizontal lines, at given *x* / *y* positions. They are usually used to mark
special data values, e.g. in this example the center and limit values of the
sigmoid function.
`~.axes.Axes.axline` draws infinite straight lines in arbitrary directions.

# `~.axes.Axes.axline` can also be used with a *transform* parameter, which
# applies to the point, but not to the slope. This can be useful for drawing
# diagonal grid lines with a fixed slope, which stay in place when the
# plot limits are moved.

# The use of the following functions, methods, classes and modules is shown

#
# - `matplotlib.axes.Axes.axhline` / `matplotlib.pyplot.axhline`
# - `matplotlib.axes.Axes.axvline` / `matplotlib.pyplot.axvline`
# - `matplotlib.axes.Axes.axline` / `matplotlib.pyplot.axline`

#
# .. seealso::
#
# `~.Axes.axhspan`, `~.Axes.axvspan` draw rectangles that span the Axes in one
# direction and are bounded in the other direction.
