FStyle Property

Applies To: Circle, Ellipse, Poly, Rect

Description

This property determines how a graphics object is filled. It takes one of the following values, or, if the object has more than one component, a vector of such values.

FStyle	Effect
¯1	hollow (no fill). This is the default.
0	solid fill
1	hatch fill with horizontal lines
2	hatch fill with vertical lines
3	hatch fill with diagonal lines at 135 degrees
4	hatch fill with diagonal lines at 45 degrees
5	hatch fill with horizontal and vertical lines
6	hatch fill with criss-crossing diagonal lines
str	the name of. or a ref to, a Bitmap object which is used to fill the object.

For example, to fill an object with criss-crossing diagonal lines you would specify ('FStyle' 6). If the object contained two components, you could fill the first one with criss-crossing diagonal lines, and the second one with a Bitmap called 'YES', with the specification ('FStyle' 6 'YES')

If the size of the Bitmap is 8x8 APL uses a Windows "brush" to fill the object. If not, it uses "tiling". Filling with a brush is faster.
