Hello, in the plot commands you can control what covers what by using the zorder parameter. Here's a demo: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/zorder_demo.html
So, in your case you could change the plotting commands to p1.plot(x,y1,'r',linewidth=5,zorder=1) p1.fill_between(x,0,y2,color='k',alpha='0.7',zorder=2) to get the fill to cover the line plot.
