Through the use of less than and greater than functions.
Explanation:
You can use less and greater than equations to create shading.
A simple example is
graph{y < x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
And
graph{y <= -x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
We can put them together (I'm using "(y-x)(y+x)<0"):
graph{(y-x)(y+x) < 0 [-10,10,-5,5]}
And you can use this functionality to make shapes by graphing lines and curves and then using functions to limit what is actually graphed. This answer has more on that:
