There are many ways to skin this cat. Here's the one I use:


;read the data, this is an astronomy routine:
readcol,'data.data',x,y,delim=',',/silent,count=n

xr=[0,5000] & yr=[0,5000] ;ranges for plot
plot,[0],[0],xr=xr,yr=yr,xst=9,yst=9,/nodata ;define the plot coord
system
loadct,13,/sil ;define a color table
color=230 ;a red color from the
table

;shade the region:
for i=0,n-2 do polyfill,xr(0)>[x(i),x(i+1),x(i+1),x(i)]<xr(1),$
yr(0)>[0.0,0.0,y(i+1),y(i+1)]<yr(1),$
color=color
loadct,0,/silent ;load the B&W table
oplot,x,y,ps=2 ;plot the data
plot,[0],[0],xr=xr,yr=yr,xst=1,yst=1,/noerase,$
xtit='X title',ytit='Y title'
