Detailed Description

Represents a hatch element.

Remarks

In Archicad 10 the polyFill field is removed from the structure, and the global, refPos, and refAngle parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchOrientation). Along this line, in Archicad 13 the gradient fill parameters were also moved to the same structure. The hasForegroundRGB and hasBackgroundRGB parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchFlags). In Archicad 20 the contPen and fillPen parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_ExtendedPenType).
