Sorry to my noob question, but how can I add a shadow area/color between the upper and lower lines in a seaborn chart?
The primary code I've working on is the following:
plt.figure(figsize=(18,10))
sns.set(style="darkgrid")
palette = sns.color_palette("mako_r", 3)
sns.lineplot(x="Date", y="Value", hue='Std_Type', style='Value_Type', sizes=(.25, 2.5), palette = palette, data=tbl4)
The idea is to get some effect like below (the example from seaborn website):
But I could not replicate the effect although my data structure is pretty much in the same fashion as fmri (seaborn example)
from seaborn link:
import seaborn as sns
sns.set(style="darkgrid")
# Load an example dataset with long-form data
fmri = sns.load_dataset("fmri")
# Plot the responses for different events and regions
sns.lineplot(x="timepoint", y="signal",
hue="region", style="event",
data=fmri)
Do you have some ideas?
I tried to change the chart style, but if I go to a distplot or relplot, for example, the x_axis cannot show the timeframe...

Check this code:
# import
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
sns.set(style = 'darkgrid')
# data generation
time = pd.date_range(start = '2006-01-01', end = '2020-01-01', freq = 'M')
tbl4 = pd.DataFrame({'Date': time,
'down': 1 - 0.5*np.random.randn(len(time)),
'up': 4 + 0.5*np.random.randn(len(time))})
tbl4 = tbl4.melt(id_vars = 'Date',
value_vars = ['down', 'up'],
var_name = 'Std_Type',
value_name = 'Value')
# figure plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(18,10))
sns.lineplot(ax = ax,
x = 'Date',
y = 'Value',
hue = 'Std_Type',
data = tbl4)
# fill area
plt.fill_between(x = tbl4[tbl4['Std_Type'] == 'down']['Date'],
y1 = tbl4[tbl4['Std_Type'] == 'down']['Value'],
y2 = tbl4[tbl4['Std_Type'] == 'up']['Value'],
alpha = 0.3,
facecolor = 'green')
plt.show()
which gives me this plot:
Since I do not have access to your data, I generated random ones. Replace them with yours.
The shadow area is done with plt.fill_between (documentation here), where you specify the x array (common to both curves), the upper and lower limits of the area as y1 and y2 and, optionally a color and its transparency with the facecolor and alpha parameters respectively.
You cannot do it through ci parameter, since it is used to show the confidence interval of your data.
