Guide

Guides are straight vertical or horizontal lines or areas supported by AmSerialChart, AmXYChart and AmRadarChart. You can have guides both on value and category axes. To add/remove a guide to an axis, use axis.addGuide(guide)/axis.removeGuide(guide) methods.

If you do not set properties such as dashLength, lineAlpha, lineColor, etc - values of the axis are used.
