I am attempting to fill the area between two curves. To more clearly illustrate what I am trying to accomplish, I would like to represent the area of the following integral:
integrate x-x^2 from 0 to 1
I can currently show the area under x with fill=True, but this is not what I want. What I want is for the fill to extend only to x^2 rather than all the way down to the x axis.
See here for a slew of fill options. Probably one of these will fit your needs.
sage: plot(x,(x,0,1),fill=x^2)
sage: plot([x,x^2],(x,0,1),fill={0:[1]})
Use a dict {<index of first curve>: [<index of second curve>]}, like this:
sage: plot([x, x^2], fill={0:[1]})
See the plot documentation for more examples.
