Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem with fill_between in combination with line plot

[Valentine S. <val...@nx...>]

Hello, in the plot commands you can control what covers what by using
the zorder parameter. Here's a demo:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/zorder_demo.html

So, in your case you could change the plotting commands to

p1.plot(x,y1,'r',linewidth=5,zorder=1)
p1.fill_between(x,0,y2,color='k',alpha='0.7',zorder=2)

to get the fill to cover the line plot.
