Notes: See Standard Patterns for a display of the patterns provided by the

A Pattern is an 8-byte entity designed for rapid handling by Quickdraw
functions. The following functions use the Pattern data type:
BackPat FillPoly FillRoundRect PenPat
FillArc FillRect GetIndPattern
FillOval FillRgn GetPattern
Several structures such as GrafPort include one or more Pattern fields.
Patterns can be stored in resource types 'PAT ' and 'PAT#'.
