Thanks for you reply Eric.
Since I am a beginner in matplotlib, I don't want to blame the soft 
first. I mean it could be a bug, but I have the feeling my code for 
masking the missing data is useless.

My real question is : How to mask data that do not exist ??? In the 
masked_demo.py example, it is show how to mask data from a set like "My 
data are
x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
y =  sin(x) or anyelse continuous fonction and I want to mask 1,2,3 so I 
write : ym = ma.masked_where(y <3, y)

But in my case, it is more like :
x = [1,2,3,4,7,8,9,15,16,17]
y = discrete values (no continuous fonction !) like 
[5,2,20,17,3,12,9,18,18,9]
What I want to do with these data :
1/plot graph with no line connecting the point (x,y) = (4,17) and the 
point (7,3), etc.
2/fill the space under the plot but do not fill the space where there is 
no data (eg between the same 2 points).

The 1st thing seems to be easy = just follow the example masked_demo
But in my case, how can I mask data that don't exist ? I can't write ym 
= ma.masked_where(y <3, y)

Hum, I hope I was clearer....
