Fill in freehand graphs

[Hnelg]

Dearl all,

I have a need to fill-in color beneath a graph line and are unsure how to
proceed.

For instance, I have an X axis and a Y axis. Then I freehand draw (using
the Freeform Tool) a line starting halfway up the Y axis across the page. I
don't have specific values - this illustration is simply to indicate a
concept.

Once I have drawn the "squiggly" line above, I need to shade in the area
below it - between the squiggly line and the X axis.

How do I shade in this area??

Thanks
Hnelg

Only a closed loop shape can be filled. Select the sides of the shape and
Choose Operations from the Shape Menu. Use the Fragment Operation.

John,

I see what you mean.

Ultimately, I used the line tool to simply draw a straight forward "U" shape
and then used the freeform tool to draw the squiggly line from the top of one
side of the "U" to the other.
