Draw longest possible vertical line between two curves in seaborn

I currently have a plot like this (consider that data is the dataframe I pasted at the very bottom):

import seaborn as sns

sns.relplot(
    data = data,
    x = "Threshold",
    y = "Value",
    kind = "line",
    hue="Metric"
).set(xlabel="Threshold")

Which produces:

Now, I want to know how can I annotate a line in this plot, such that it is located between the curves, at the x-Axis value where the distance between curves are maximized. I would also need to annotate text to show the distance value.

It should be something like this:

Here is the pandas dataframe:

Answer

Use pivot to transform the data from long to wide
Use idxmax to find the x (Threshold) of the max difference between y1 and y2 (Fall-out and Recall)
Use vlines to plot the vertical line at x from y1 to y2
Use annotate to plot the label at the midpoint of y1 and y2

g = sns.relplot(data=data, x='Threshold', y='Value', hue='Metric', kind='line')

# pivot to wide form
p = data.pivot(index='Threshold', columns='Metric', values='Value')

# find x, y1, and y2 corresponding to max difference
diff = p['Fall-out'].sub(p['Recall']).abs()
x = diff.idxmax()
y1, y2 = p.loc[x]

# plot line and label
ax = g.axes.flat[0]
ax.vlines(x, y1, y2, ls='--')
ax.annotate(f'Dist = {diff.loc[x]:.2f}', ha='left', va='center',
            xy=(x, 0.5*(y1+y2)), xycoords='data',
            xytext=(5, 0), textcoords='offset pixels')
