Chart.js – draw horizontal line

Here is the JavaScript code to draw a horizontal line.

var data = {
    labels: ["JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", "OCT", "NOV", "DEC"],
    datasets: [{
        data: [12, 3, 2, 1, 8, 8, 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 1]
    }]
};

var ctx = document.getElementById("LineWithLine").getContext("2d");

Chart.types.Line.extend({
    name: "LineWithLine",
    initialize: function () {
        Chart.types.Line.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
    },
    draw: function () {
        Chart.types.Line.prototype.draw.apply(this, arguments);

        var point = this.datasets[0].points[this.options.lineAtIndex]
        var scale = this.scale
        console.log(this);

        // draw line
        this.chart.ctx.beginPath();
        this.chart.ctx.moveTo(scale.startPoint+12, point.y);
        this.chart.ctx.strokeStyle="#ff0000";
        this.chart.ctx.lineTo(this.chart.width, point.y);
        this.chart.ctx.stroke();

        // write TODAY
        this.chart.ctx.textAlign = 'center';
        this.chart.ctx.fillText("TODAY", scale.startPoint + 35, point.y+10);
    }
});

new Chart(ctx).LineWithLine(data, {
    datasetFill : false,
    lineAtIndex: 2
});

This is based off of the code used to draw an arbitrary vertical line, it may not be perfect but you should be able to adjust it to fit your needs.
