ANA.PatternFill
Copy multiple equal Patterns into an Image-Register (IR)
Intention
This command will fill an IR with the Pattern from a smaller IR.
1. Fill an IR with a Pattern
You need to have an IR already, otherwise create one using the ANA.New Command.
Then Load the Pattern and start the Filling.
ANA.Load|0|Heart.bmp
ANA.New|1|600|400
ANA.paf|0|1|&HFFFFFF
ANA.Show|1!
ENR.
Using this Pattern, we get the result below. 
On the TOS you will find the number of copied Patterns, in this case its 625.
Syntax

Plotting 93750 Copies of a Pattern on a 8000x6000 IR will take on my Computer 2498738 Ticks. That around 0.1 Seconds.
