setfillstyle

raw OCR

Sets the fill pattern and color.

Defined in header <graphics.h>

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
void  far setfillstyle(int pattern, int color);

Portability

DOS	UNIX	Windows	ANSI C	C++ only
■

Remarks

setfillstyle sets the current fill pattern and fill color. To set a user-defined

fill pattern, do not give a pattern of 12 (USERFILL)	to setfillstyle; instead,

call setfillpattern.

The enumeration filljpatterns, defined in graphics.h, gives names for the predefined fill patterns, plus an indicator for a user-defined pattern.

Name	Value	Description
EMPTY FILL	0	Fill with background color
SOLID FILL	1	Solid fill
LINE FILL	2	Fill with
LTSLASH FILL	3	Fill with///
SLASH FILL	4	Fill with ///, thick lines
BKSLASH FILL	5	Fill with \\\, thick hnes
LTBKSLASH	FILL	6	Fill with \\\
HATCH FILL	7	Light hatch fill
XHATCH	FILL	8	Heavy Crosshatch fill
INTERLEAVE	FILL	9	Interleaving line fill
WIDE DOT FILL	10	Widely spaced dot fill
CLOSE DOT FILL	11	Closely spaced dot fill
USER FILL	12	User-defined fill pattern

All but EMPTY_FILL	fill with the current fill color; EMPTY_FILL	uses the

current background color.

If invalid input is passed to setfillstyle, graphresult returns -11 (grError), and the current fill pattern and fill color remain unchanged.

Return value

None.
