args : a variable length argument

It allowing for multiple x, y pairs with an optional color format string; see plot() for details on the argument parsing. For example, each of the following is legal:

ax.fill(x, y)
ax.fill(x, y, "b")
ax.fill(x, y, "b", x, y, "r")

An arbitrary number of x, y, color groups can be specified:: ax.fill(x1, y1, ‘g’, x2, y2, ‘r’)

Returns:

a list of Patch

Other Parameters:  

kwargs : Polygon properties

Notes

The same color strings that plot() supports are supported by the fill format string.

If you would like to fill below a curve, e.g., shade a region between 0 and y along x, use fill_between()
