how to fill between 2 graphs

Hi eveybody
I could not fill the gap betwween 2 curves. it is shown in below figure.
can anyone help me?
thanks
The code I used is:
plot(KI1,KP1);
xlabel('K_I');
ylabel('K_P');
grid on
hold on
x2=zeros(1,150)
y=linspace(-20,40,numel(x2))
plot(x2,y,'linewidth',2)

Did you try area? What about intersection fo curves?
I tried, but may be wrong parameter selection I couldnt succeded.
Maybe i can correct your code? Allow me to help you
thanks drova
I have given the code above.
I have an error here
Do you know why?
KI1 and KP1 are vectors. they can have any value.

What do you mean by "fill the gap"? Do you want to connect the start and end points so that this becomes a closed curve? If so, this should do it:
plot([KI1(:); KI1(1)], [KP1(:); KP1(1)]);
xlabel('K_I');
ylabel('K_P');
grid on

Thanks alot for replay Beckham
This is 2 different curve. I wanna fill intersection of them(closed area) with a color.
In that case, try something like this (I've made up some data that is somewhat similar to your plot, though not as smooth).
KI1 = [0 -190 -100 0 90 80];
KP1 = [40 5 -18 -16 -5 -2];
fill([KI1(:); KI1(1)], [KP1(:); KP1(1)], 'b', 'EdgeColor', 'None') % Fill the shape with blue
hold on
plot([KI1(:); KI1(1)], [KP1(:); KP1(1)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2) % Outline the edges in black
xlabel('KI1')
ylabel('KP1')
If this doesn't get you to what you want, it would help if you share the data for KI1 and KP1.
Thanks alot Beckham
but I want to fill KI1<0 part, not all of them
how to fill just left of KI=0 line in your figure?
Maybe this will do what you want:
KI1 = [0 -190 -100 0 90 80];
KP1 = [40 5 -18 -16 -5 -2];
idx = find(KI1 <= 0); % find indices of non-positive KI1 values
fill([KI1(idx) KI1(find(idx,1))], [KP1(idx) KP1(find(idx,1))], 'b', 'EdgeColor', 'None')
hold on
plot([KI1(:); KI1(1)], [KP1(:); KP1(1)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2)
xlabel('KI1')
ylabel('KP1')
Thanks alot for your kind replies, Beckham
You are welcome. Glad I could help.

Here is my shot
y = 0:0.1:pi;
x1 = -sin(y);
x2 = y*0-0.3;
[xc,yc] = polyxpoly(x1,y,x2,y);
xx = [xc(1) x1(x1<x2) xc(end)];
yy = [yc(1) y(x1<x2) yc(end)];
plot(x1,y,x2,y)
patch(xx,yy,'r')
line(xc,yc,'marker','o')
success?
