One of many examples is:

{\footnotesize
\psset{xunit=.5cm,yunit=.5cm,curvature=1 .1 .75,plotpoints=200}
\begin{pspicture}(-3.74,-4.99)(8.99,6.99)
%
\pspolygon[fillstyle=hlines,hatchangle=90,hatchwidth=.1mm,hatchsep=4mm,linecolor=white]%
(-3,7)(-3,-5)(-.75,-5)(8.25,7)
\pspolygon[fillstyle=vlines,hatchangle=-45,hatchwidth=.1mm,hatchsep=4mm,linecolor=white]%
(4.6666666667,7)(8.25,7)(8.25,-5)(.6666666667,-5)
%
\psaxes[labelsep=.75mm,arrowlength=1.75,ticksize=2pt,linewidth=0.17mm]%
{->}(0,0)(-3.74,-4.99)(8.99,6.99)
%
\rput[Br](8.25,-.7){x}
\rput[tr](-.3,7){y}
\rput[Br](-.3,-.7){$0$}
%
\uput{1mm}[ur]{71}(3,4){$3x-y=7$}
\uput{1mm}[ur]{53}(5.5,2.35){$2x-1,5y=6$}
%
\psline[linewidth=.35mm](-.75,-5)(8.25,7)
\psline[linewidth=.35mm](4.6666666667,7)(.6666666667,-5)
%
\end{pspicture}}

In the first edition I used \pspolygon without hatchangle and the result
was hlines at 0 degree and vlines at 135 degree (assuming 0 degree as
the origin with counterclockwise direction). With PST97 the hlines
appeared at 90 degree and vlines at 45 degree; so I had to add a
hatchangle of 90 degree to compensate for this behavior.
I'm using the Y&Y DVIPSONE driver with appropriate header files to work
with PSTricks (maybe the problem is here!). These are PSTRICKS.CON 799
26.07.97 20:20 and PSTRICKS.PRO 12.339 08.09.97 18:36.

Oh God! Sorry. Maybe it was to logical for me to have Bc and cr for
alignment at the ticks!

It's enough for me but not for my publisher!

Thanks,
