How to draw a Google line chart with vertical divider? - google-visualization

Question

I have several google line charts (actually, combocharts with both linecharts and areacharts inside) that need to have a vertical "before&after" kind of marker, something like this:
how do I do this?
I see in the docs that I can customize a single point in line (like make it a big star) to serve as a marker, but if there's a way to do this with a vertical line, that would be much better.

Found this somewhere
google.load('visualization', '1', {packages: ['corechart']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);
function drawVisualization() {
// example copied from Google Visualization API playground,
// modified for category axis annotations
// Create and populate the data table.
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'x');
data.addColumn({type: 'string', role: 'annotation'});
data.addColumn({type: 'string', role: 'annotationText'});
data.addColumn('number', 'Cats');
data.addColumn('number', 'Blanket 1');
data.addColumn('number', 'Blanket 2');
data.addRow(["A", null, null, 1, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["B", null, null, 2, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["C", null, null, 4, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["D", null, null, 8, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["E", null, null, 7, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["F", null, null, 7, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["G", 'Foo', 'Foo annotation', 8, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["H", null, null, 4, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["I", null, null, 2, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["J", null, null, 3.5, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["K", 'Bar', 'Bar annotation', 3, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["L", null, null, 3.5, 0.5, 1]);
data.addRow(["M", null, null, 1, 1, 0.5]);
data.addRow(["N", null, null, 1, 0.5, 1]);
// Create and draw the visualization.
new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).
draw(data, {
curveType: 'function',
width: 500,
height: 400,
vAxis: {
maxValue: 10
},
annotations: {
style: 'line'
}
});
}
