Abstract
The paper describes the generation of a GKS fill area by a series of hatch lines. The complexity of the problem and the effect of sorting is discussed. Two methods of sorting both of which generate lists are described, code is presented and performance is discussed. Two methods of handling corners are described and Fortran 77 code is presented for the complete algorithm using one method.
