//SETBRUSH, style, hatch {, r, g, b}

SETBRUSH is similar to SETPENEX except that it selects a brush that is used only to fill in rectangles and ellipses, and only then when you use the fill options light gray, gray, and dark gray. In those cases, the brush defined previously by SETBRUSH will be used instead of the default brush. See the topic Parameters: Symbols vs. Values if you have questions about which to use.
