Pattern ID (Area Fill ID) Command

The Pattern ID command (formerly called Area Fill ID) identifies the specific shading, cross-hatch, or user-defined pattern. (This command is also used for rectangular area fill. Refer to Chapter 14, PCL Rectangular Area Fill Graphics.)

For rectangular areas, the pattern material is determined by both the pattern ID and the value of the Fill Rectangular Area command. For other images, the pattern material is determined by the pattern ID and the value of the Select Pattern command.

Figure 13-4 and Figure 13-5 illustrate the HP-defined shading patterns and cross-hatched patterns, respectively.
