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.
