I do wonder if this belongs in annotations though. I think of infinite lines as annotating a plot versus representing data. It's too bad gallery entries cannot show up in two locations.

I've also pondered where to put this. It's not clearly an existing category - if one would create a new I'd do something like "Decorations" but I don't think it's worth creating that category right now. I've decided against "Text, labels and annotations" because that section has a strong focus on text, and annotations there are something (often again a text) local next to a data point. Both concepts do not apply to infinite lines, and I did not want to add a new interpretation of "annotation" in. I've therefore gone with matching the pure type "line". No solution is optional here, but I believe it's good enough.

I don't have any strong objections to it being here. I do think some of the things we do to annotate plots should be in the annotation section, but again, could be cross referenced.

Tag it w/ it's secondary purpose?.. tag:: component:annotation or make a new label..tags:: purpose: decorations though decorations that highlight information are usually annotations in visualization literature.
