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

  The SET AREA STYLE INDEX statement lets you  specify  your  choice  of
  index  for hatch or pattern area fill styles.  There is no index value
  for solid and hollow areas.

  Example

  OPTION TYPE = EXPLICIT
  DECLARE LONG variety
  EXTERNAL PICTURE sample
  SET AREA STYLE "hatch"
  FOR variety = 1 TO 10 STEP 2
      SET AREA STYLE INDEX variety
      DRAW sample WITH SHIFT (0.1 * variety,0)
  NEXT variety
  END
