(**) 16 hardware patterns are available. They can be redefined by an X pixmap with the %bt directive. They cannot be redefined by the PHIGS standard pattern functions.
(***) hatch style is defined by the step and the angle as follows:
style index = step * 1000 + angle
where step is given in pixel and angle in degrees
