Synopsis

SclGraphicsSetFacePattern $pattern

Description

The interior of polygons can be rendered with a solid colour or with some pattern which may even have a contrasting colour defined for the pattern. The pattern is defined using a symbolic representation of various characters.

Arguments

• pattern

Pass by value. Permitted values for pattern include:

• "solid" The default case---faces are painted uniformly with whatever the current Face Colour is. (The face colour may be set directly or by setting the "face colour")
• "##" A crosshatch pattern, filling the face. The lines will generally be painted with the current Face Contrast Colour; the spaces will get the current Face Colour.
• "||" Like the crosshatch pattern, but vertical bars instead.
• "==" Horizontal bars.
• "//" Slant-right.
• "\\" Slant-left.
• "::" Dotted (square grid).
• "<><>" Diamonds.
