Pattern instead of colors for area charts

Hi

how difficult would it be to change the usage of colors by pattern?

I guess this would be done in some renderers, but where exactly, any hints?

Thanks

Heinrich

Patterns are quite hard to do. You could try Java's TexturePaint class, but when I last experimented with it the results weren't great. The alternative is to write your own code that can fill arbitrary shapes with patterns...which is harder than it sounds.
