The symbols defined in Symbols and Compound symbols that end with the term FillSymbol are all used for pattern fills. The name of the pattern is taken from the symbol name by replacing FillSymbol with the term Pattern.
The exceptions to this principle are:
scatteredBouldersPattern uses smallBoulderFillSymbol
scatteredRocksPattern uses smallRockFillSymbol
scatteredConiferousTreesPattern uses smallConiferousTreeFillSymbol
scatteredNonconiferousTreesPattern uses smallNonconiferousTreeFillSymbol
To produce a particular pattern, the appropriate fill symbol is distributed on a grid that is repeated to cover the polygon being drawn. The sections below detail the grids that are currently in use.
| Variables | Value/s |
|---|---|
In this example, heathAndScrubPattern uses the natural environment grid to produce the pattern below:
This is then applied as a polygon fill:
