6 plpsty - Select area fill pattern

9 plpsty(patt)

12 If patt is zero or less use either a hardware solid fill if the drivers
13 have that capability (virtually all do) or fall back to a software emu‐
14 lation of a solid fill using the eighth area line fill pattern. If 0 <
15 patt <= 8, then select one of eight predefined area line fill patterns
16 to use (see plpat(3plplot) if you desire other patterns).
17 Redacted form: plpsty(patt)
19 This function is used in examples 12, 13, 15, 16, and 25.
21
23 patt (PLINT(3plplot), input)
24 The desired pattern index. If patt is zero or less, then a solid
25 fill is (normally, see qualifiers above) used. For patt in the
26 range from 1 to 8 and assuming the driver has not supplied line
27 fill capability itself (most deliberately do not so that line
28 fill patterns look identical for those drivers), the patterns
29 consist of (1) horizontal lines, (2) vertical lines, (3) lines
30 at 45 degrees, (4) lines at -45 degrees, (5) lines at 30 de‐
31 grees, (6) lines at -30 degrees, (7) both vertical and horizon‐
32 tal lines, and (8) lines at both 45 degrees and -45 degrees.
