Defining a Linear Pattern

Edit the font of the linear pattern.

\fonte

This command places you in the font editor environment. By editing the linear pattern font arcpatrn.fon you can design new linear patterns or modify existing ones.

You may design or modify a linear pattern corresponding to any of the lower case characters on the keyboard (a — z, 0 — 9, and other characters for which the Shift key is not needed).

If you intend to use a linear pattern to fill a wall layer, then design it to fill the entire height of the font editor grid.

For a full description of the font editor, see Text, Font editor (\fonte).
