Line name in hlines

[nsharov]

Hello there!

@DanielGoldfarb , first of all, I wanted to thank you for the work done. it is very pleasant to use your module in work.

I recently started looking into the matplotlib and mplfinance packages, so I often run into problems that get resolved pretty quickly (thanks google).

Unfortunately, I could not think of or find a solution to the following problem:
I am building a graph, on this graph I display n lines, I would like to name each of these lines, or indicate their value on the y-axis.

As a result, I really want to get something like this:

p.s. Sorry if there are errors somewhere in the text (I used google translate)

@nsharov
Thank you for expressing your appreciation for mplfinance.

I think I can point you in the correct direction to be able to find a way to do this.

There are a few different things you can try, all of which involve first gaining access to the Axes objects. Then you can either use Axes.set_yticks(), or use text and/or annonations on the appropriate Axes object.

To gain access to the Axes objects, you can either use returnfig=True,
or create your own Figure and Axes using external Axes mode.

I recommend first trying returnfig=True.
It will keeps things simpler.

You can find more detail on these suggestions in the following links (and in the links within them) ...
