Assign a Fill to a Specific Value in Grapher

Grapher offers a number of plot fill options. You can fill the area above or below a plot, or fill the space between two plots. A cutoff value for your plot can also be defined, which you can use to highlight data above or below a certain threshold.
 
  1. Create a line plot by clicking the Home | New Graph | Line/Scatter | Line Plot command.
  2. Select your data file and click Open.
