[ncl-talk] Could I add some FillPatterns effect such as oblique lines to a raster fill plot ?

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Lin,
You can always do an overlay where you create two images:
1) Create a RasterFill plot with colors. (You already have this plot.)
2) Create a RasterFill plot with pattern fill (not color fill).

Then you would overlay 2) on 1) using the overlay procedure.

See example #10 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/overlay.shtml#ex10

Note that for plot 2) (or plot_shade in example 10) you would want to set
the following resources:
res at cnFillPattern = 3
res at cnMonoFillColor = True
res at lbLabelBarOn = False    ; no labelbar needed

Available fill patterns:

Hope that helps. If not, please respond to ncl-talk.
Adam
