Hello all,
Does anyone have a technique to get the PostScript driver to do a shaded
fill pattern with POLYFILL? There's the mysterious FILL_PATTERN keyword,
but it seems to have no effect on the PostScript driver, which is strange
since patterned fills should be a piece o' cake in PS, and many drawing
programs provide standard fill patterns, including various percentages of
even fill (for example, I'd like a 30% fill of red on a polygon). A
bit of trial and error (mostly error) with the PATTERN keyword provided
similar output. Line filling works, but I'd like something snazzier.
Thanks....

I would have thought the easy way would be to use a colour defined with
r = 255, g = 180, b = 180 (or thereabouts) and a solid fill.
