       to this routine are the number of sets to use (1 or 2) followed by two pointers to integer arrays (of  1  or  2	elements)  specifying  the
       inclinations in tenths of a degree and the spacing in micrometers.  (also see plpsty(3plplot))

       Redacted form:  General: plpat(inc, del) Perl/PDL: plpat(nlin, inc, del)

       This function is used in example 15.

ARGUMENTS

       nlin (PLINT, input)
	      Number of sets of lines making up the pattern, either 1 or 2.

       inc (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the line inclination in tenths of a degree.  (Should be between -900 and 900).

       del (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the spacing in micrometers between the lines making up the pattern.
