series: { lines: { fill: true } } when stacking

[flotbruin]

Is there a way to get line:fill to only fill between two lines in a
stacked chart? From what I can tell line fills go all the way to the X-
axis regardless of stacking/not.

Yes there is a workaround.

Start with the upperline, Give the coördinates from max X to min X
(opposite of normal Flot line you'll draw).
Continue with the data for the lowerline, Give the coördinates from
min X to max X (opposite of upperline, but normal for flot).

And of course: fill: true;

Thanks Kwibus. Can you show me what you mean for coordinates - I'm a
bit confused by your description?

If I understand you correctly, wouldn't that sort of "hard code" my
graph, so I can't turn various datasets on and off with JavaScript
controls (like examples/turning-series.html in the Flot package)?
That's ok for now I guess, I'm just trying to make sure I understand
what you're describing.

The line filler needs to be able to do this kind of thing, there's a
patch for it here:

Once that's it, it would be trivial to have the stacking plugin do the
right thing.
