如何在vega-lite中添加参考线？

Question

I have a time series graphs (simple line graphs) and I want to add one or more reference lines to the graph that will denote as boundaries (something like the SPC Charts, minimum and maximum and the average).

Is this possible in Vega-Lite?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not yet. But we are working on Vega-Lite 2.0 with support for layering. See our research paper at http://idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/vega-lite/ for details.

We have preliminary (not documented and may break in Vega-Lite 2) support for layering.
