Hi,
I want to highlight a period in my plot by adding two vertical lines and coloring between them. Any ideas on how to do that?

Here's one way:
figure
%Plot something
plot(1:10)
% Add lines
h1 = line([2 2],[1 10]);
h2 = line([5 5],[1 10]);
% Set properties of lines
set([h1 h2],'Color','k','LineWidth',2)
% Add a patch
patch([2 5 5 2],[1 1 10 10],'r')
% The order of the "children" of the plot determines which one appears on top.
% I need to flip it here.
set(gca,'children',flipud(get(gca,'children')))
