Description
Fill symbols are used to draw polygon features on the graphics layer. SimpleFillSymbol can be solid, transparent, or one of several cross hatch patterns. In addition, the symbol can have an optional outline, which is defined by a line symbol.
Known limitation: When using FireFox 2.x, only STYLE_SOLID and STYLE_NULL are valid. All fill styles work correctly in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 and FireFox 3.x.
