matplotlib.pyplot.fill#

matplotlib.pyplot.fill(*args, data=None, **kwargs)[source] #

Plot filled polygons.

Parameters:

*argssequence of x, y, [color]

Each polygon is defined by the lists of x and y positions of its nodes, optionally followed by a color specifier. See matplotlib.colors for supported color specifiers. The standard color cycle is used for polygons without a color specifier.

You can plot multiple polygons by providing multiple x, y, [color] groups.

For example, each of the following is legal:

ax.fill(x, y) # a polygon with default color
ax.fill(x, y, "b") # a blue polygon
ax.fill(x, y, x2, y2) # two polygons
ax.fill(x, y, "b", x2, y2, "r") # a blue and a red polygon

dataindexable object, optional

An object with labelled data. If given, provide the label names to plot in x and y, e.g.:

ax.fill("time", "signal",
 data={"time": [0, 1, 2], "signal": [0, 1, 0]})

Returns:

list of Polygon

Other Parameters:

**kwargsPolygon properties

Notes

Note

This is the pyplot wrapper for axes.Axes.fill.

Use fill_between() if you would like to fill the region between two curves.
