I would move this to the very top, with a little intro saying "there are two ways to draw filled shapes: scatter traces and layout.shapes" with a note that layout.shapes is mostly useful for cartesian 2d subplots, but you can use e.g. scatterpolar and scattergeo and scattermapbox to draw filled shapes on any kind of subplots.

You can add a link to the scatterpolar page where we have filled shapes, and to the "filled shapes on mapbox" page that you wrote last year?

can you add a final point that's the same as the initial point, so the line goes all the way around?

| There are two ways to draw filled shapes: scatter traces and [layout.shapes](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-shapes-items-shape-type) which is mostly useful for the 2d subplots, and defines the shape type to be drawn, and can be rectangle, circle, line, or path (a custom SVG path). You also can use [scatterpolar](https://plot.ly/python/polar-chart/#categorical-polar-chart), scattergeo, [scattermapbox](https://plot.ly/python/filled-area-on-mapbox/#filled-scattermapbox-trace) to draw filled shapes on any kind of subplots. To set an area to be filled with a solid color, you need to define [Scatter.fill="toself"](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#scatter-fill) that connects the endpoints of the trace into a closed shape. | |||

Maybe add a sentence saying that if mode contains "lines" (which is the default) then you'll likely want to repeat the first point of a shape at the end of the sequence, so the line goes all the way around.

Yeah to have a closed shape, all right!
