I use fill_between for this -- draw the line with "plot" and the shaded region with "fill_between". You can specify the alpha on the fill_between call: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/fill_between_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.fill_between JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
