[gradsusr] Stippling/cross hatching for south polar

[Jennifer Adams]

Hi, Katherine -- 
The drawing of stippling and cross hatching in GrADS is an undocumented feature, partially implemented, that only works with the X window interface. You will not be able to get any image or hardcopy output if you use these features. I have never heard of hatch.gs, so I can't answer any questions about it, but I would search for another way to show statistical significance. Contours on top of a shaded plot, using the shapefile interface to create stippling, or using gxout grid are some options. We are working on integrating a new graphics rendering package (cairo) into GrADS that will support semi-transparent colors, and pattern filling for this kind of application, but it is not ready yet.
