how can I change the position of the infiniteLine label?

[Jeremy Webster]

The label for the infiniteLine shows up right in the vertical middle of the plot.  That's where all my data is and I'd rather not have the label right over it.  What's the best way (Is it possible) to move it near the top (or bottom) of my plot?

You need to call setValue() function.

example:
i_l = pyqtgraph.InfiniteLine(movable=True, angle=0)
line_position = 1
i_l.setValue(line_position)

read the documentation http://www.pyqtgraph.org/documentation/graphicsItems/infiniteline.html

I believe you misunderstood the question.  I know how to move the line.  What I want to know is how to move the LABEL of the line.

il.label.setPosition() ?
look at classInfLineLabel: http://www.pyqtgraph.org/documentation/_modules/pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/InfiniteLine.html

import pyqtgraph
win = pyqtgraph.GraphicsWindow()
pl = win.addPlot()
il = pyqtgraph.InfiniteLine(label='some label', movable=True, angle=0)
pl.addItem(il)
il.label.setPosition(0.1)  # 0.0 to 1.0

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    if (sys.flags.interactive != 1) or not hasattr(QtCore, 'PYQT_VERSION'):
        pyqtgraph.QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()

Thanks

That works.  I appears to me that InfLineLable isn't documented yet.
