David's page is quite clear that this is designed to work with a plot
that has already been created: "I cannot draw the polygon first and
then redraw the plot using OPlot because I do have have access to the
IDL source code".

If you have access to the data then why not simply put a polyfill
behind the plot?

set_plot, 'x'
device, decomposed=0
loadct, 3
plot, indgen(10), /nodata, color=0, background=255
polyfill, [0,10,10,0], [4,4,6,6], /data, COLOR=125
plot, indgen(10), /noerase, color=0, background=255

OR the similarly in the PS device

set_plot, 'ps'
device, file="test.ps"
plot, indgen(10), /nodata
polyfill, [0,10,10,0], [4,4,6,6], /data, color=125
plot, indgen(10), /noerase
device, /close
