To fill in the area above a curve in Matplotlib, use the plt.fill_between(~) method:
x = np.linspace(0, 5, 1000)plt.plot(x, 2*x)
# Fill area above curvex_fill = np.linspace(2, 4, 1000)plt.fill_between(x_fill, 2*x_fill, y2=10, alpha=0.5)plt.show()
Here, the four parameters we are supplying to the fill_between(~) method are as follows:
The x-values to shade
The lower bound of the y-values to shade
The upper bound of the y-values to shade
The transparency of the shaded area
This gives us the following:
