How do you make an area plot without rounding to box in the entire figure.

area(hflux(:,550), yy(:,1,1));

So I made an area plot where the lines are supposed to have shaded area below it. However, this function seems to connect the squiggly lines into a rectangular shape. Is there another function that could graph something like a line plot but with shaded area only below it?

fill()

You will need to decide on a lower bound for "below".

Example:

   baseline = -1;
   a = rand(1,30);
   fill([1:length(a), length(a), 1], [a,baseline,baseline], 'r')

that is, run along top of "a", then at the last point drop down to the baseline, run straight back from there to under the first point, and let fill automatically close from there to (1,a(1))
