Re: [Matplotlib-users] legends with fill_between

[empty83 <mat...@gm...>]

I understand why things were not behaving as I expected and I don't really
have any good ideas on how to make a legend from a RegularPolyCollection in
general.

However, I do not grok why fill_between returns a RegularPolyCollection
rather than a Polygon (like fill does).  Does fill_between(x,y0,y1) differ
substantially from fill(x+x[::-1], y0+y1[::-1])?  To me this seems like the
most intuitive behavior.
