Shading the area bounded by graphs in TikZ

Question

Thanks to Torbjørn T.'s answer at Best way to generate a nice function plots in LaTeX?, there is an easy way to show multiple graphs using TikZ's datavisualization. Is there a way to shade i.e. fill in the region bounded by these graphs?

As an aside, if you're not locked to the datavisualization library, you could look at pgfplots. Search the site for e.g. [pgfplots] fill between — Torbjørn T., Nov 29 '16 at 20:16

Try:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \begin{axis}
    \addplot[name path=f] {x^2 - x +4}; 
    \addplot[name path=g] {x^2 - x}; 
    \addplot [
        fill=blue, 
        fill opacity=0.2
    ]
    fill between[
        of=f and g
    ];
  \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Is there a way to do it with datavisualization? – An Hoa Nov 29 '16 at 21:01
