Re: [ROOT] hatching not showing in postscript

Hi,

 As you noticed this is a bug in gv which doesn't understand the 
Postscript patterns correctly if the anti aliasing is on. I have explained 
this (and the ways to bypass the problem) here:

http://couet.home.cern.ch/couet/root/ht09.html

I have also tried to include an eps file with patterns generated by Root 
in a power-point document and I have no problem to print it (patterns are 
visible).

Cheers,      Olivier Couet
