NAME

       plpsty - Select area fill pattern

SYNOPSIS

       plpsty(patt)

DESCRIPTION

       If  patt  is zero or less use either a hardware solid fill if the drivers have that capability (virtually
       all do) or fall back to a software emulation of a solid fill using the eighth area line fill pattern.  If
       0  < patt <= 8, then select one of eight predefined area line fill patterns to use (see plpat(3plplot) if
       you desire other patterns).

       Redacted form: plpsty(patt)

       This function is used in examples 12, 13, 15, 16, and 25.

ARGUMENTS

       patt (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              The desired pattern index. If patt is zero or less, then a solid fill is (normally, see qualifiers
              above) used.  For patt in the range from 1 to 8 and assuming the driver has not supplied line fill
              capability itself (most deliberately do not so that line fill patterns look  identical  for  those
              drivers),  the  patterns  consist  of  (1)  horizontal  lines, (2) vertical lines, (3) lines at 45
              degrees, (4) lines at -45 degrees, (5) lines at 30 degrees, (6) lines at  -30  degrees,  (7)  both
              vertical and horizontal lines, and (8) lines at both 45 degrees and -45 degrees.
