Thank you for rating this answer.

Strater does not have the ability to specify where to begin or end a fill under a line plot. Currently, you can fill inside or outside a line curve, but the fill would extend to either the minimum or maximum values of the set scale.

You could work around this by creating two line plots:

1. Create one unfilled line plot, making sure the Fill Pattern is set to None.
2. Create a second line plot from the same data (so there are 2 identical plots).
3. Select the second line plot, and in the Property Inspector, change the Scaling to User Defined and set the Minimum and Maximum values for the area you want filled.
4. Set the fill properties for the second line plot, and change the line style to invisible.
5. Delete the Title for the second line plot.
6. It would also help to select the scale bar for the second line plot and set the font size to 0 and the line properties to a different color from the first plot.
7. Then move the second line plot so that it overlays the first one, lining up the minimum values exactly. You may need to zoom in to the scale bars and use the Base Properties / Positioning / Left option in the Property Inspector for the second line plot to line up the minimum value exactly to the first line plot.
8. Then use the Base Properties / Positioning / Width option to change the width of the second line plot so that it truly overlays the first one exactly with respect to the variable scale.
9. Once they are overlaid, you can delete the Scale Bar for the second line plot.
10. In the Object Manager, move the second line plot below the first plot.
