Hi, Can i add a trace which goes over all the subplots like vertical lines spanning all stacked subplots. If I use shapes to do this, then I dont have option for hoover text on the line. Is there a option to add vertical line in shape and also display hoover text on it ? Also, if If i add say 5 vertical lines with shapes, I am not able to like enable disable one, from the legends. Any help is appreciated . -Thanks JAy ---
