Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb Graphics, SET Statements, AREA_STYLE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The SET AREA STYLE statement lets you  specify  your  choice  of  fill
  style  for  an  area.  The area style value can be one of four values:
  "HOLLOW", "SOLID", "PATTERN", or  "HATCH".   You  can  use  lower-  or
  uppercase  letters  because  VAX  BASIC  converts  the  characters  to
  uppercase.  At the start of program execution, the area style  is  set
  to solid.

  Example

  OPTION TYPE = EXPLICIT
  EXTERNAL PICTURE sample
  SET AREA STYLE "HOLLOW"
  DRAW sample
  SET AREA STYLE "SOLID"
  DRAW sample WITH SHIFT(0.2,0)
  SET AREA STYLE "PATTERN"
  DRAW sample WITH SHIFT(0.4,0)
  SET AREA STYLE "HATCH"
  DRAW sample WITH SHIFT(0.6,0)
  END
