3. Implementing PDF Content Patterns with C# and .NET

A tiling pattern consists of a small graphical figure (called a pattern cell) that is replicated at fixed horizontal and vertical intervals to fill the area to be painted.

Look at the example below to learn how to fill paths with uncolored and colored tiling patterns.
