fille area under a step function

Community matplotlib-users

Hi All

I make a plot of visible satellites at a ground station where calculations
are performed every X minutes (eg 10 minutes). From these calculations I
make a plot which,among other info, displays the number of visible
satellites as a function of time using the drwa-style 'steps-post' (cfr line
below)

   ax2.plot(predDates, nrVisSats, linewidth=3, color='black',
drawstyle='steps-post', label='#Visible', alpha=.6)

I would like to color the area between the time-axis and this line but I
cannot find how to do that for a 'step' function.

Tx for any help.

Alain

As of mpl 1.5 the fill_between method/function takes a step kwarg
http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between
which I think will do what you want.
