How to plot a dotted black line (without using yline function)?

How do I plot a horizontal dotted black line going from 0 to the maximum value of x? The height of the line should be 0. I cannot use the yline function. Thank you!

What about usign plot()? Is it possible?

And maybe also add a listener to make sure the line is extended when the x range changes.

Darova's ide:

yln = plot([0,max(xlim())],[0,0], 'k--'); 

I like Rik's idea, too. Here's some background info

or,

matlab.graphics.chart.decoration.ConstantLine('InterceptAxis', 'y', 'Value', 0.5,'Parent',gca, 'LineStyle','--','Color', 'k')
