Problem #1 in this area is that crosshatching generates some truly
awful optical effects on barplots. I'm a bit out of my waters with
this, but I seem to remember that there's a way of setting the
halftone screen in PostScript so that "grey" comes out as dot patterns
of various densities (which it always does of course, but it should be
possible to set up for bigger dots).
