HP L 5 manual Pattern ID Area Fill ID Command, Selecting User-Defined patterns1

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, described later in this chapter.)

	Default	= 0 (no pattern)
	Range	= 0 – 32767 (values outside the range are ignored)
	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 5-7 and Figure 5-8 illustrate the HP-defined shading patterns
	and cross-hatched patterns, respectively.
Note	This command is used for both the Select Pattern and Rectangular
	Area Fill graphics.

For user-defined patterns, this command, sent prior to downloading a user-defined pattern, assigns an ID pattern number to the downloaded pattern. (For more information, see “User-Defined Pattern Graphics,” later in this chapter.)
