# Vertical Line

To plot a vertical line, one should select this object and click once with your left mouse-button on a necessary point in the chart. A separate vertical line can be displayed on each window (chart and indicator subwindows) or one vertical line can be drawn for all the windows, depending on the specified parameters.
