    Hi, I have made a block which is simply a triangle, but i want to make this block opaque (non-transparent) so as i can place it on top of a line and not see the line. Can anyone help??
    Thanks.

    then I think you want to use wipeout command

    That only happens if you only do as suggested: take the extra step and
    assign the solid hatch a color 255, then adjust your plot style table for
    zero screening for that color (with dither and grayscale off) and you get
    no-color (your paper background shows).

    Wipeouts are still problematic when plotting to older devices and older PDF
    drivers.
