Chart.js - draw horizontal line

Question

I would like to draw a horizontal line in a chart using Chart.js. But I\'m not able to do it.

I\'ve read this question - Chart.js — drawing an arbitrary vertical lin

Answer 1

Based on dFelinger message I made a new char type that draws an average line on the line chart. Here's the code, just copy and call a new chart with the new type called 'lineWithAverage' WORKS ONLY FOR CHARTJS 2

    Chart.controllers.lineWithAverage = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
        initialize: function () {
            Chart.controllers.line.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
        },
        draw: function () {
            Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.apply(this, arguments);

            var scale = this.scale
            var sum = 0;
            this.getDataset().data.forEach(function(value) {
              sum = sum + value;
            });

            var average = sum / this.getDataset().data.length;

            var averageCoord = this.calculatePointY(average);

            // draw line
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx = this.chart.chart.canvas.getContext('2d');
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx.beginPath();
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx.moveTo(0, averageCoord);
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx.strokeStyle = '#979797';
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx.lineTo(this.chart.chart.width, averageCoord);
            this.chart.chart.canvas.ctx.stroke();
        }
    });
