It seems that my best shot is,

- Create a batch-number dataset with (t\_stamp, number) pairs. Number is in sequence 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Create another y-axis. I set the axis range to very large numbers so that the difference in vertical position of my batch numbers is not discernable. In my case I made it `max : 1000` and `min : -10000`. This forces the zero line above the top of my other charts.
- Add another series and set it to line. Bind it to the batch-number dataset.
