The curves are the boundary of the colored region.  By default the  
boundary is a thin black line, but you can change the properties  
"edgecolor" and "linewidth", either in the patch command or later  
with set() on the handle.  Use

        h = patch( ... whatever ... );
        get(h)

to see what's tweakable.

Cheers,
Rob
