To set color in a graph containing multiple patterns, you can specify the pattern option by its index. For example:

//plot two lines that intersect with each other before executing code
set %c -pf 1; //Turn the fill area option on 
set %C -pfv 9; //Set the the Fill Area Under Curve to "Fill to next data plot –Above Below Colors"

-pfp

Syntax: set name -pfp fillPattern#;

Set plot bar or column fill pattern. For data plots with bars or columns, set the fill pattern of the bar or column following the pattern drop-down list: 0 = none, 1 = dense, 2 = medium, etc.

// Fill column(A) and column(B) with data
plotxy (1,2) plot:=203; // Plot a column plot
