I'm not sure exactly what sort of plot was desired, but I'll offer 1.5
possibilities.
Currently you can do something like this:
require(mosaic)
plotFun( x^2 - 4 ~ x , xlim=c(-6,6), col='blue' )
plotFun( (x^2 - 4)/as.numeric(x^2 -4 > 0) ~ x , xlim=c(-6,-2),
add=TRUE, col='blue', lwd=4 )
It is a bit of kludge since I'm using division by 0 to hide part of
the function. You can adjust colors, line thickness, and alpha to
your particular sensitivities. And you can use type='h' if you want a
"filled in version".
Soon, you should be able to do
plofFun( x^2 - 4 ~ x, groups=(x^2-4>0) )
If you find yourself wanting to plot "mathematical" functions like
this, I encourage you to give plotFun() a try and let us know how you
like it.

You should probably say more about which graphics engine you are
using, but here's a start:
curve(x^2-4, from = -3, to = 3)
x <- seq(-3, 3, length.out = 200)
polygon(c(x, rev(x)), c(x^2-4, rep(Inf, length(x))), col = 2)
The red is a little "oppressive" so I'd try to add transparency if
your device supports it. Adding a shade above/below argument to curve
based on the same principles might be a fun exercise too...

Dear all R Users:
How can I shade the solution (-Inf,-2) or (2,Inf) of the inequality
-x^2+4<0 within the curve of f(x)=-x^2+4.
and
the solution (-Inf,-2)or(2,Inf) of the inequality x^2-4>0 within
the curve of
f(x)=x^2-4.
with many thanks
