Problems with filling a path that includes decorations in TikZ
8
I want to construct a rectangle with two sides having a slight curvature and the other two sides being zigzag lines. In the end, I want to fill it. While the construction of the path worked the way I expected, the filling did not. How can I tell TikZ to fill the area inside this rectangle?

usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{intersections, decorations}
usepackage{pgfplots}

begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2]
coordinate (A) at (0,0);
coordinate (B) at (8,0);

defmypath{ (A) to[out=10,in=170] (B)
decorate[decoration=zigzag] {(B)-- (C)} (C) to[out=170,in=10] (D)
decorate[decoration=zigzag]{(D)--(A)}
};
draw [fill=red] mypath;

Welcome to TeX.sx! A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces or enclose words in backticks`, they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it).

You are breaking the path into pieces by repeating the coordinate names (B) and (D) hence each piece is filled individually. Removing them inside the braces (and the extra (C)) fixes the problem.

draw[fill=red] (A) to[out=10,in=170] (B)

Just a note: since the default decoration for the scope is already set withbegin{scope}[decoration=zigzag]you can remove[decoration=zigzag]from the path to clean it up a bit.
