DlxBrushStyle.HatchBrush(hatchStyle, foreColor, backColor, lineWidth = 0.1, rotation = 0, scale = 1.0, offsetx = 0, offsety = 0)

Parameters

Parameter Description
hatchStyle A DlxHatchStyle object or a string containing the name or handle of the hatch style.
foreColor A DlxColor object or a string with the name of the color or its handle. Specifies the color to use for the hatch lines.
backColor A DlxColor object or a string with the name of the color or its handle. Specifies the color to use for the background.
lineWidth Width of the hatch lines.
rotation Specify the rotation angle, in degrees, of the pattern.
scale Specify the scale factor to apply to the chosen fill pattern.
offsetx Specify the horizontal coordinate of the origin of the pattern.
offsety Specify the vertical coordinate of the origin of the pattern.
