Thanks for the example, I'll see if this works.
I think I forgot to reverse() the points in the second line
so the polygon connected points it shouldn't have in the middle...

To handle missing data (represented by !VALUES.F_NAN or otherwise) you'd
first have to filter your data and interpolate.

Will PolyFill.

I don't understand what this means. Here is an example
that seems to do what you want.

************************************************************ **
PRO Example

; Create some data

y1 = [ 1, 3, 2, 5, 6, 9]
y2 = [ 3, 6, 7, 6, 8, 10]
x1 = Indgen(6) + 1
x2 = Indgen(6) + 1

; Load some colors.

TVLCT, [125, 255, 0], [125,255, 255], [125, 0, 0], 100
Device, Decomposed=0

; Draw the plot, fill the area between lines with gray.

Plot, x1, y1, /NoData, XRange=[0,10], XStyle=1
Polyfill, [x1, Reverse(x2)], [y1, Reverse(y2)], Color=100
OPlot, x1, y1, Color=101
Oplot, x2, y2, Color=102

END
************************************************************ **

Cheers,
