- You could add the lines via latex (texlive is available via the usual linux package managers, but is often already installed because many other tools have it as dependency).
- 1. first determined the coordinates of the `0` and `8` x ticks (the commented green help lines in the example below). I'm using these coordinates instead of trying to determine the location of the bars, because these span a larger interval and thus the error from doing this by eye will be smaller. In the example below, they are at `-16.1` and `17.45`.
- 2. next calculate from these coordinates the location of your desired lines, `-5.6158` and `6.9653`.
- (might be a bit overkill, but I think this will ensure that the lines are placed as precisely as possible)
