Specific part of background in a plot - outside plotting area

I need to add a rectangle to my plot that includes being behind the ticks but not the label of my graph.



I know with Prologyou can add a rectangle, like with the code:



Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3}, Prolog -> {Red, Rectangle[Scaled[{0., 0.8}], Scaled[{1, 1}]]}, Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}]


enter image description here



But I need the rectangle to go beyond where it is now, to be wider, and actually be behind the number 8 (but not behind the frame label) and go passed the frame a little bit on other side too. With Background I could cover the whole thing but I am only interested in that rectangle and need the rest of the picture to remain backgroundless.



Is it at all posible?
Thank you!

  • Interestingly, I just got here and had a look at the images. I first saw the images in the two answers and thought, "ugh, this looks ugly with the rectangle extending outside the box". Then I saw the nice image in your question. And finally I was surprised to learn that you actually asked for the style in the answers!

  • Yes. The graph I am trying to make is obviously way more complicated than that but that's what I was looking for. It serves to hightlight other graphics that will be displayed along side this one.

You can use PlotRangeClipping->False and extend the Rectangle:



Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3},

    Prolog -> {Red, Rectangle[Scaled[{-.03,.8}],Scaled[{1.03,1}]]},

    Frame -> True,

    FrameLabel -> {"x","y"},

    PlotRangeClipping -> False

]

Here is alternative way to do it.



Show[Graphics[{Red, Rectangle[{-0.1, 7.8}, {3, 9}]}, 

  PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 9}}, AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio, 

  Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}], Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3}]]

Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
