You can choose from 64 predefined pattern fills. You can also edit each pattern.
The inspector displays an editable version of the pattern on the left, and a preview
on the right that updates as you edit the pattern. Pattern fills print at one size on
PostScript output devices and do not scale with the object they fill.
For an example of the patterns available, see "Applying pattern strokes" on page 285.

PostScript applies a fill with a unique pattern and shape that you create in the
PostScript code entry text box. FreeHand sends the PostScript code to the
PostScript Interpreter in your printer's Raster Image Processor (RIP). If your code
is incorrect, you will receive a PostScript error message when printing.
PostScript fills do not appear on the monitor, but will appear when printed.
