Description
I am using the follow code to join the lower points of two bars together (the blue bold line):
mpf.plot(data,hlines=dict(hlines=hlines_carrier,colors=['g','r'],linestyle='-.'),type='candle',alines=two_points)
However, I would like to the line to extend onto the right and touch the y-axis. What codes I should change in order to do that?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start with the mpf.plot call shown in the issue, focusing on how the alines=two_points argument determines line endpoints and how hlines are rendered. Confirm the desired behavior by extending the line to the right-side y-axis without changing the candle plot, then verify it against the supplied example image.
