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.

It may make sense for a graph to overwrite the axis, but I guess it seldom makes sense if it overwrites the borders if box style is chosen. An option, something like "axis always on top", would be useful. But when I look at the quality of Prime's plots .... just lets be happy with what we have in Mathcad 15!

Yes, I was thinking of suggesting you create an idea, but as you said, Prime's plots need a substantial improvement before additional features are recommended/implemented.
