Curtis,

The following fill types are available for contours:

from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/variables_index?fline

      FLINE
  
      FLINE is the color and fill type to be used for contour fill:
  
        colr1;..;colrn/type1;..;typen
  
      The number of fill colors and types needed is one greater than the
      number of fill levels in FINT.  The number of fill colors may be
      entered as a list of color numbers separated by semicolons or a
      range of colors.  The number of fill types may be entered as a list
      of numbers separated by semicolons.  More information on color
      selection can be found in the help for COLORS.
  
      The fill type may be set any of the following values:
  
                1               Solid
                2               Slanted Dash
                3               Wide-spaced Slanted Line
                4               Medium-spaced Slanted Line
                5               Zig-Zag Line
                6               Dots
                7               Thin-spaced Slanted Line
  
      If fill type is set to 0, soild fill is used. If the fill type is
      set to a single negative number, negative values will use the
      absolute value of the fill type, and positive values will be solid.
