Hartmut,
Or if you have the DrawGraphics from my web site below you can avoid all
these complications with...
Needs["DrawGraphics`DrawingMaster`"]
f[t_] := (t/7.5)^2 + Sin[t]
Draw2D[
{FilledDraw[f[t], {t, 2, 9}, Fills -> SkyBlue],
Draw[f[t], {t, 0, 2}],
Draw[f[t], {t, 9, 10}]},
Axes -> True,
AxesFront -> True,
ImageSize -> 500];

A simple trick would be:
In[1]:= << Graphics`FilledPlot`
In[3]:= f[t_] := (t/7.5)^2 + Sin[t]
In[4]:= g[t_] := f[t] /; t < 2 || t > 9
In[5]:= g[t_] := 0 /; 2 <= t <= 9
In[6]:= FilledPlot[{f[t], g[t]}, {t, 0, 10}]
The result is not quite perfect, as below and above the shaded region, the
function is plotted twice (at different sampling), and vertical lines are
visible at the borders of the shaded region.
In[7]:= filled = FilledPlot[f[t], {t, 2, 9}, Fills -> {Hue[2/3, .5, 1]},
DisplayFunction -> Identity]
In[8]:=
Plot[f[t], {t, 0, 10}, Prolog -> filled[[1, 2, 1, 1]],
PlotStyle -> {GrayLevel[0]}, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
Here only the polygon for the shading is retained from filled, but again at
different sampling (such you may see some small open gaps, or the line
blurred over). Furthermore, the abscissa got partially hidden.
In[9]:= pl = Plot[f[t], {t, 0, 10}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]
In[10]:=
Show[pl, Graphics[filled[[1, 2, 1, 1]]], pl,
DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction, AxesFront -> True]
This makes the axis visible in full, but shares the remaining defects.
With simple means, this was most satisfying to me:
In[11]:= plow = Plot[f[t], {t, 0, 2}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]
In[12]:= plhi = Plot[f[t], {t, 9, 10}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]
In[13]:=
Show[plow, filled, plhi, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction,
AxesFront -> True]
If you don't mind switching off an error message, you may do
In[20]:= g1[t_] := f[t] /; t < 2 || t > 9
In[21]:= g2[t_] := f[t] /; 2 <= t <= 9
In[22]:=
Off[Plot::"plnr"]
In[23]:=
FilledPlot[{g1[t], g2[t]}, {t, 0, 10},
Fills -> {{{2, Axis}, Hue[1/3, .5, 1]}}]
You may seperate concerns a bit:
In[31]:= \[Theta]1[t_, {min_, max_}] := 1 /; t < min || t > max
In[32]:= \[Theta]2[t_, {min_, max_}] := 1 /; min <= t <= max
In[33]:= \[Theta][t_, {min_, max_}] := Through[{\[Theta]1, \[Theta]2}[t,
{min, max}]]
(a strange "partition of unity")
In[34]:= Off[Plot::"plnr"]
In[35]:=
FilledPlot[f[t]*\[Theta][t, {2, 9}], {t, 0, 10},
Fills -> {{{2, Axis}, Hue[1/3, .5, 1]}}]
If you want to have shading between several curves, just do e.g.
In[36]:=
FilledPlot[Append[Cos[t] \[Theta][t, {2, 9}], Sin[t]], {t, 0, 10},
Fills -> {{{2, 3}, Hue[1/6, .5, 1]}}]
In[38]:= On[Plot::"plnr"]
