Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz Shading/Plot

[kapowza]

I've been trying out Tikz recently and going through the manual. I understand that, to plot a function, I just use something like \draw plot function{x*x};

I was wondering - is there a relatively easy way to shade the region between the curve and the x-axis between, say, x = 1 and x = 2?

I guess the example from the pgf/tikZ manual (Part V - Utilities, p. 375) explains best what to do in this case. Call the manual on the command prompt of your machine.

Code: Select all

texdoc pgf
