Details

CPATTERN= is overridden by any color specification in a PATTERN statement. For details about how CPATTERN= affects the PATTERN statement, see The Effect of the CPATTERN= Graphics Option.
If you specify CPATTERN=, the solid pattern is skipped and the patterns rotate through only the appropriate default hatch patterns for the graph. See PATTERN Statement for more information about pattern rotation.
