[Cdat-discussion] hatch/pattern fillareastyle hard copy

[Andrew D. <and...@ue...>]

I have created an isofill plot that contains two regions that have been 
filled using the 'hatch' fillareastyle. This plot looks great on the 
screen however I have been unable to produce any kind of hard copy of 
it. I usually output to a GIF file however when I try to do this I get 
an error message from ppmtogif stating that there are too many colours. 
Outputting to EPS (or any other format actually) does not work properly 
either, the result usually being a corrupted file or an image containing 
only a portion of the plot. If I replace the hatched areas with a solid 
fill I am able to output into any format without problems. I have been 
told that this is a known bug in VCS, in which case I would like to know 
if it is fixed in the current development version or likely to be fixed 
soon?

Thanks,
Andrew Dawson
