# now fill between y1 and y2 where a logical condition is met.  Note
# this is different than calling
#   fill_between(x[where], y1[where],y2[where]
# because of edge effects over multiple contiguous regions.

# This example illustrates a problem; because of the data
# gridding, there are undesired unfilled triangles at the crossover
# points.  A brute-force solution would be to interpolate all
# arrays to a very fine grid before plotting.
