I am trying to fill out the area between two curves with shades. Since the printing version of my graph will be black and white, and there are multiple areas to fill out, the shades should be something other than colors, e.g. dots, slant lines, etc. Is there a way that I can fill out the area with such shades in matlab?

I just found a MATLAB function area() which will do the job! B
Here is one way:
% Get data for the two circles
[xp5, yp5] = circle(5,0,0,0,2*pi,0.01);[xp10,yp10] = circle(10,0,0,0,2*pi,0.01);% Draw the two circles
figurehold onplot(xp5,yp5)plot(xp10,yp10)% Fill in the area by defining the polygon that is defined by tracing the inner circle and then back along the outer circle
fill([xp5 flip(xp10)],[yp5 flip(yp10)],'g')% Cover up the connecting line in the same color
h = line([xp5(1) xp10(end)],[yp5(1) yp10(end)]);set(h,'Color','g')% Set the axes to have equal length, so that they *look* like circles
axis equal
