place markers on waveform graph

I'm trying to place an obvious marker on a waveform graph programatically. I have a single line continous input, and I need to put a line on the graph each time a certain condition is met.
A thin vertical line would be best, but i can't seem to alter the cursor appearance. Also, I don't know how to dynamically create multiple cursors.

Please don't start a new thread for the same question. Respond back there and explain exactly what you've done to create the cursors. Have you left clicked on the cursor box in the cursor legend to see the point and line styles?

While mouse is on Graph, right click, under "visible items", select "cursor legends".

Another method of marking a graph that doesnt involve cursors (is there a limit to the number of cursors/ overhead of using cursors?) is to use a second plot which is a thin bar chart.  Fore each value you wish to not mark give it a 0 or nan then for each value of plot 1 you wish to mark give it a real value (either a max y value or a value equal to the value from plot 1 you wish to mark).

Show the Cursor Legend. Pop up on the cursor name in the Legend box. The select Attributes >> Cursor Style... A vertical only styple is available.
