printing with stippled shapes or patterns

Ejlersen

Hi

I'm currently doing a large revision of my PDF generation utility but have run in to a number of challenges.

By default placebounds are shown as stippled - however doing plot makes them filled instead of stippled.

I've tried putting patterns on them as well, but the patterns does not look nice - they seems to look stribed.

Have anyone experimented with this and have any tips to share. I've also tried playing with the transparency settings to dimm the placebound shapes - but that did not help

 

Best regards

    Thank you, I downloaded and tried your code - that works nicely.

    I've looked over the SVG documentation and realize that if I'm going down that route - it's a complete i/f function from Allegro to SVG that I need to write. Not sure that I'm ready to do that, at least I don't have the time to do that now.

    I'll have to do account for all objects, map colors,  text sizes etc. 

    At the moment, I'll leave my initial thoughts and try to pursue another way to get closer to what I want. 

    But I really appreciate your input on this and at one point I might use it as a starting point for enhancing my pdf generator.
