fillstyle

Number

Yes

Fill style (pattern) to be used.  If fillstyle is omitted, the default fill style is solid (0).  If a hatch pattern is chosen (1 to 6), the foreground color is specified by the fillcolor, while the background is specified by the default background color.  The fillstyle can be:

 

%Canvas_FillStyle_Solid
