Hi Tony,

here is a simple approach consisting of creating the different pieces 

and showing them together:

<< Graphics`FilledPlot`

fun[x_]:=Exp[-x^2];

g1=FilledPlot[fun[x],{x,-1,1}];

g2=Plot[fun[x],{x,-3,3}];

Show[g1,g2]

and

fun[x_]:=Exp[-x^2];

g1=FilledPlot[fun[x],{x,-3,-1}];

g2=FilledPlot[fun[x],{x,1,3}];

g3=Plot[fun[x],{x,-3,3}];

Show[g1,g2,g3]
