	<h4>Pattern</h4>
	<p>
		Instances of the <b>Pattern</b> resource category are prototype
		pattern dictionaries, described in Section <a href="../../../4/9.html">4.9,
			"Patterns."</a> A prototype pattern dictionary is suitable as the operand
		to the <a href="../../../8/2/m/makepattern.html">makepattern</a>
		operator, which produces a transformed pattern dictionary; a
		PostScript program can then use the resulting dictionary in painting
		operations by establishing a Pattern color space or by invoking the <a
			href="../../../8/2/s/setpattern.html">setpattern</a> operator.
