Bitmap Patterns
Presently there are 128 built-in bitmap patterns to choose from which can be accessed by entering a pattern ID between 1 and 128. The pattern ID is entered by using the argument colorVariant — part of numerous xmCHART functions. For example:
Black & White Patterns
The 64 black & white patterns can be referenced by a pattern ID between 1 and 64. Several frequently used patterns can also be accessed by name. For example:
The color and transparency of the pattern can be controlled by the argument color. For example:
AddRect(10;10;200;120;red;9) /* Red dots on a white background. */
AddRect(10;10;200;120;255 0 0 100;9) /* Red dots on a translucent background. */
By using pattern ID 1 or constant transparent the fill can be suppressed. For example:
FillStyle(1;;transparent) /* Same as FillStyle(1;none) */
FillStyle(1;;1) /* Same as line above. */

Color Patterns
The 64 color patterns can be referenced by a pattern ID between 65 and 128. For example:
The transparency of the pattern can be controlled by the alpha value of the argument color. The three RGB components in color are ignored. For example:
AddRect(10;10;200;120;0 0 0 100;120)
