This function plots the given datasets in a single figure and axis, and resembling the cover of Joy Divisions' Unknown Pleasures by Peter Saville (and in many other newspapers, journals, etc.).
The function is very simple and lightweight and only uses the MATLAB(R) built-in functions fill and plot. I am actually amazed that this wasn't programmed before, but there you go.
The figures are extremely customizable. I provided some documentation in the files section.
Enjoy!
