I guess you can find a lot of nice ways to shade, color, hatch an area in the "Amazing Images" E-Book.

Byrge Birkeland also had posted a sheet (unfortunately Prime) specifically about shading a region here:

Some other link which might be of interest:

In your case you might first define a piecewise function following your horizontal marker and then the green line and use bars or error bars to shade the area underneath.

Thanks Werner,

A few good examples, but no easy way to achieve such a simple task.

I agree that shading/filling/hatching an area should be a feature out of the box. In the meantime we have to do it ourself, sort of write-once/use-many.

In your case its even more difficult because you switched dependent and independent axis (so error bars won't work) and you also changed the orientation of the vertical axis (so showing the hatch as a bunch of points doesn't work in the attached sheet).
