Filling area under a curve

Hi!

In some of my plots I want to show an excluded area by just shading it in gray. To this end I tried the following

---

   TH2F *Shade = new TH2F("excl", "", xbins, xmin, xmax, ybins, ymin, ymax);

   for( Double_t x = xmin; x < xmax; x += (xmax-xmin)/xbins) {

      for(Double_t y = ymin; y < ymax; y += (ymax-ymin)/ybins) {
         val = curve(y, x);
         if (val <= excl) {
         Shade->SetBinContent(
               Shade->FindBin(x,y), 500);


         }

         else {
         Shade->SetBinContent(
               Shade->FindBin(x,y), 0);


         }

      }

   }
   Double_t contours[1];
   contours[0] = excl;

   Shade->SetContour(1, contours);
   Shade->Draw("cont4");
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, unfortunately root fills the area _above_ the curve in black (I did not even find how to change that colour) and not the one below. I always get it displayed in white, wheras I'd like something like gray70. Actually the area above the curve should be transparent so that I could Draw("cont4,same"), above another graph. Searching arround did not give me a clue (though I came accros some other interesting things ;)

Does anybody have a hint how to do this?

Many thanks in advance!
