[BUG] Inconsistent and erroneous treatment of fillrange

[baggepinnen]

The following produces strange results that differ between backends. I'd like the plot to look similar to the GR version, but with the fill upper area extending vertically similar to how the lower fill range does

Details

struct SettlingTimeObjective
    final_value::Float64
    time::Float64
    tolerance::Float64
end

@recipe function plot(o::SettlingTimeObjective)
    primary --> false
    linestyle --> :dash
    color --> :red
    fillalpha --> 0.5
    seriesalpha --> 0.5
    @series begin
        fillrange --> 0
        [o.time, 10*o.time], [o.final_value-o.tolerance, o.final_value-o.tolerance]
    end
    @series begin
        fillrange --> Inf
        [o.time, 10*o.time], [o.final_value+o.tolerance, o.final_value+o.tolerance]
    end
end

plot(randn(15))
plot!(SettlingTimeObjective(1, 5, 0.2))

I get different results for GR

I think, the question here is, what fillrange = Inf should do?

EDIT: funniliy that upper fillrange was not visible in the GTK Window, only in the png file

[baggepinnen]

I produced the plots in vscode, they might go through slightly different pipeline? I also used a non-random blue series but made it randn for the MWE. I expected fillrange = Inf to just extend upwards indefinitely, but not contribute to the default ylims.

In general, is there a way to indicate that an @series should not contribute to setting the axis limits? This is often useful when adding "guide lines" etc. that should always be there no matter the limits, i.e., their extent is infinite. hline/vline works this way IIUC and those are very useful, but are not always applicable, e.g., for semi-infinite lines etc.

Yeah, vscode shows png files by default

For lines there is seriestype := :straightline. https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/46e19d9ad57fb21c6f6e1bb59ddf6473314cec9e/src/recipes.jl#L1625
