    # this is different than calling
    #   fill_between(y[where], x1[where], x2[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.
