[GRASSLIST:10463] Re: Hatching in ps.map

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hello Tom,
sorry. It seems that it was a misunderstanding from my side. However, it
would be nice to have some examples for different EPS patterns on the GRASS
Wiki. I will give it a try.
Besides: do you know a way to include the pattern in the legend also? It did
not work in my case.

Best regards,

Wolfgang
