FillPattern Property

The FillPattern property returns or sets the fill pattern for a contour map. Returns a string.

Syntax

object. FillPattern

object. FillPattern = Pattern

Remarks

The FillPattern sets the pattern of the filled contour map. This can be changed to any of the fill patterns. This does not set the fill color. To set the fill color, see FillForegroundColorMap and FillBackgroundColorMap.

After setting the FillPattern, the script must still apply the fill change. Use the ApplyFilltoLevels command to apply changes.

Example 1
