Syntax
hfill(yl,yu) hfill(...,ColorSpec) hfill(...,ColorSpec,'PatchProperty','PatchValue') hfill(...,'bottom') h = hfill(...)
Description
hfill(yl,yu) creates a horizontal shaded region between lower bounds yl and upper bounds yu. Inputs yl and yu must each contain 1 element per shaded region.
hfill(...,ColorSpec) defines the face color of the patch(es) created by hfill. ColorSpec can be one of the Matlab color names (e.g. 'red'), abbreviations (e.g. 'r', or rgb triplet (e.g. [1 0 0]). Or you can use the rgb function.
hfill(...,ColorSpec,'PatchProperty','PatchValue') defines patch properties such as 'EdgeColor' or 'FaceAlpha'.
hfill(...,'bottom') places the newly created patch(es) at the bottom of the uistack.
h = hfill(...) returns handle(s) of newly created patch objects.
Starting with this plot:
plot((1:100).^0.5,'linewidth',2)
Fill the area between 2 and 3 on y axis:
hfill(2,3)
Make red regions 0.3 units high between 6 and 10:
yl = 6:10;
hfill(yl,yl+0.3,'r')
Make a brown patch from 3.5 to 4 with no edge color and put it below everything:
hfill(3.5,4,rgb('brown'),'edgecolor','none','bottom')
Semitransparent mauve region from 4.5 to 5.5, with dotted gray edges:
hfill(4.5,5.5,rgb('mauve'),... 'edgecolor',rgb('gray'),... 'linestyle',':',... 'facealpha',0.8);
