The problem with RegionFunction is how many points does Mathematica use,
especially with a straight line, and how does the algorithm determine where
the boundary should be. Suppose one point is well within the region and the
next point is well without. I'm sure that Mathematica doesn't calculate the
exact intersections with boundaries. So I think the only reliable method is
to use some brute force and trim the lines if they extend outside the
region. Again, here is a Presentations solution where it is convenient to
treat the hatching and the curve separately.
Needs["Presentations`Master`"]
f[x_] := Sin[x];
Draw2D[
{(* Draw hatch lines first *)
Table[
Draw[(x - k)/3, {x, -1.5, 3},
RegionFunction ->
Function[{x, y}, 0 < x < 3 \[And] 0 <= y <= f[3 x]],
PlotRange -> {{1, 3}, {0, 1}},
PlotPoints -> 200,
PlotStyle ->
Directive[AbsoluteThickness[2], Red]] /. {x_?NumberQ,
y_?NumberQ} :>
If[0 < x < 3 \[And] 0 <= y <= f[3 x], {x, y},
Unevaluated[Sequence[]]], {k, -3, 3, .1}],
(* Draw the curve without a fill *)
Blue, AbsoluteThickness[2],
Draw[f[3 x], {x, 0, 3}, PlotRange -> {0, 1}]
},
AspectRatio -> .6,
PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 1}},
PlotRangePadding -> {.1, .05},
Axes -> True,
ImageSize -> 400]
If you do the same graphic with say 25 points you will see that Mathematica
did not always use points very close to the boundary.

Following what Bob brilliantly suggested, I found a possible bug in
Mathematica 7.0.1 for Windows.
If you type the following, you will get a couple of red lines getting
out of their boundary:
f[x_] := Sin[x];
Plot[
{Table[(x - k)/3, {k, -3, 3, .10}], f[3x]},
{x, 0, 3},
PlotRange -> {0, 1},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, 0 < y <= f[3x]],
PlotStyle -> {
Directive[ AbsoluteThickness[4], Red],
Directive[ Thick, Blue]
}
]
Does anybody else confirms this?
