cross hatching

[Eric Salathé]

If you are not generating a large set of plots, but only a couple (eg
for publication), the best way around this is to draw a single
contour line around the region you want hatched, save to EPS, and
then use a vector drawing tool (eg Illustrator, Skencil) to paint the
pattern fill inside the countour line.
