Add vertical line in histogram

Hello Eviews-Support Team,
I make am Monte-Carlo-Simulation with 10.000 observation and my workfile has about 78 mb.
Therefore I can only attach the program-code.
In the histogram, I can“t add a vertical line, with the dist option it works like it should.
Adding a horizontal line to a histogram works too.
My program-code is attached.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. I use Eviews 8.1 with the newest patch.

Here is one page with a histogram and a distplot-graph. But to draw the vertical line only works in the distplot and not in the histgram.

In the histogram case, the position must be specified by observation number and not value.
The below line will add a vertical line at the 10th observation:
Code: Select all
GRA_GDP1960_HAT_hist.draw(line, bot) 10

First, I want to thank you for your request, Jason.
Is there no opportunity to set it by value, because I want to illustrate the case of a biased estimation
and the line should be the value from the data generating process.

Unfortunately not.

Actually, for the histogram, Jason's code will draw by value
will draw the vertical line at a value of 824.

Both Glenn and I are giving you conflicting answers. We are actually both right.
You cannot specify by value if from your series, you created the histogram by selecting view->descriptive stats & tests->histogram and stats.
You can if you create your histogram by selecting View->Graph, then selecting Distribution from the Specific: box and additionally selecting Histogram from the Distribution: box in the Details box.
