Most gINT symbols are either employed as discrete graphics or fills, described as follows:
Fills are patterns that fill up an enclosed space by repeating or stretching. These include the following:
Tiles: These are simple fills constructed from line graphics. They may be used alone, and also are the main building blocks of composite symbols. gINT ships with over 800 predefined tiles.
Composite symbols: Composite symbols are fills that are constructed from other fills, generally tiles, in predefined ways. Material, sampler and well symbols are all composite symbol fills.
Miscellaneous fill types: Hatches are rotatable fills that let you duplicate some AutoCAD fills that you couldn’t otherwise. Bitmap fills are bitmap (dot) graphic patterns rather than line drawings. Solid fills are as the name suggests. Other than solid fills, you will typically not use these types either singly or as components of composite fill symbols.
Note: General symbols, hatches, bitmap fills, and fixed curves on graphs are not covered in this tutorial. For specific information on any of these symbol types, see the online help (Help Index fill_type_name).
