We recently installed an Apple Laserwriter on our VAX. We would
like to make plots of VLSI layouts. It is fairly straight forward
to convert from Magic files to PostScript; however, I would like 
to find an "easy" way to fill boxes with patterns (like those 
in MacPaint). I would like to know if the patterns are in the 
Laserwriter's memory, and if so, how does one access them them?
I have been unable to find any information in the PostScript and
Apple manuals.


Thanks
