A drawback of the current hatch fill is that it takes a very long time for the plot to complete if there are a lot of hatch lines. If some of the pen lifts could be avoided, the hatch fill would be substantially more usable.

I have been working on this problem, and believe I'm getting very close to a real improvement in plotting speed. The only problem is, my coding style is not up-to-snuff. So...question: is there a coding standards document to which I can refer?
