fills a contour with copies of a pattern
Description
Written on SY Bontekoning at Marina Panacea Palma de Mallorca.
The filling algorithm is expecting that the pattern are centered around [0 0]; otherwise by using parameter pc, the function filling contour is moved into its bounding box center

Syntax
[CPLN,XPL]=CPLfillPattern(CPL,CPLA,[w,d,cut,pc])
Input Parameter
CPL: | | Contour to be filled |
CPLA: | | Filling pattern to be copied |
w: | | border thickness of CPL; default is 1 |
d: | | distance between the pattern; default is w |
cut: | | cut instead of removal of overlapping pattern; default is false |
pc: | | 'c' moves the contour into the center; is 'c' on by default |
Output Parameter
CPLN: | | CPL of resulting contour with punched patterns |
XPL: | | CPL of punching patterns |
Examples
Fill a circle with stars:
CPLfillPattern(PLcircle(30),PLstar(5,20),0,0); % Both contours are centered
CPLfillPattern(PLcircle(30),PLstar(5,20)+3,0,0); % Pattern shifting is ignored
CPLfillPattern(PLcircle(30)+10,PLstar(5,20),0,0); % Contour shifting is compensated
CPLfillPattern(PLcircle(30)+10,PLstar(5,20)+3,0,0,true,'x');
