When make a diagram of area bounded by curves, I have 4 choices:

this way:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{pst-plot}

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid,algebraic](5,4)
\pscustom[linestyle=none,fillcolor=yellow,fillstyle=solid]{%
  \psplot{4}{1}{sin(2*x)+1.5}
  \psplot{1}{4}{-0.5*x+2.5}
}
\psset{linewidth=2pt}
\psplot{4}{1}{sin(2*x)+1.5}
\psplot{1}{4}{-0.5*x+2.5}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

Thanks Herbert!

Your solution is very compact.
I no longer need to write RPN notations with algebraic option.
Excellent!
