This was on the roadmap but have not heard anyone actually request it. So I'll leave the prototypical hack here as an issue in case anyone wants to actually have it.

So in theory we could have an option like y_fill_level that enables filling the are between the points and a given vertical level, usually the zero line.

It might look something like:

plot(ys, title="Sine wave", y_fill_level=-2.5)
                          Sine wave

And then with colors it might look like: Screen Shot 2021-05-01 at 18 18 25

Let me know if this feature would be useful.

Seems not critical right now, closing
