Fill Between Area Curve

Version 1.0

Description

The Fill Between Area Curve creates a shaded area between two data series, effectively highlighting the region of overlap or difference.

Dependencies

For optimal performance and accurate graphs, please install the Mapping Toolbox .

Syntax

fillBetweenAreaCurve(x, y1, y2) shades the area between 2 lines formed by y1 and y2
fillBetweenAreaCurve(x, y1, y2, c) shades the area between 2 lines formed by y1 and y2 with color c.
fillBetweenAreaCurve(__, Name, Value) specifies additional options for the FillBetweenAreaCurve using one or more name-value pair arguments. Specify the options after all other input arguments.

Name-Value Pair Arguments/Properties

XData Array containing values of x-coordinates for both plots y1 and y2. Note: x-coordinates for both y1 and y2 should be common
Y1Data y-coordinates of y1 plot
Y2Data y-coordinates of y2 plot
Condition The condition property selectively shades the area based on the condition provided by the user.
ShadeInverse Shades all the unshaded regions between 2 curves with a different color.
OptimizePerformance Calculate the vertices of triangles that compose the patch manually instead of asking patch to do it

Stylistic Name-Value Pair Arguments/Properties

FaceAlpha Describes opacity of shaded area. If set to 1, the shaded area is completely opaque. If set to 0, the shaded area is completely transparent.
FaceColor Describes the color of shaded area specified by Condition
InverseFaceColor If ShadeInverse is set to true, we shade the unshaded region with InverseFaceColor
Line1Color Line color for plot describing y1 values
Line2Color Line color for plot describing y2 values
XLabel Label for x axis
YLabel Label for y axis
Line1LineStyle Line Spec for plot describing y1 values
Line2LineStyle Line Spec for plot describing y2 values
Line1LineWidth Line Width for plot describing y1 values
Line2LineWidth Line Width for plot describing y2 values
Label1 Label for plot describing y1 values
Label2 Label for plot describing y2 values
Title Title of the chart

How to use

% Intialize some data 
x = linspace(0, 4 * pi, 20);
y_sinx = sin(x);
y_cosx = cos(x);

% Create a basic FillBetweenAreaCurve
areaCurve = fillBetweenAreaCurve(x, y_sinx, y_cosx);

% Create a basic FillBetweenAreaCurve with magneta shading
areaCurveMagneta = fillBetweenAreaCurve(x, y_sinx, y_cosx, 'm');


% Create a FillBetweenAreaCurve with selective shading
areaCurveSelectiveShading = fillBetweenAreaCurve(x, y_sinx, y_cosx, 'Condition',   @(x, y1, y2) x > 2 & x < 4);
areaCurveCondition2.ShadeInverse = false;
