R help - Apr 2005 - Change density and angle in barplot

Dear R user,

I want to change each density and angle with symbol
"+","-","o","#"
and "*". How can I do that?

library(gplots)
barplot2(VADeaths, 
         density=c(5,7,11,15,17), 
         angle=c(65,-45,45,-45,90),
         col = "black",
         legend = rownames(VADeaths))
title(main = list("Death Rates in Virginia", font = 4))

Thanks for your help.

There is no general support for pattern fills in R graphics.
If you are really desperate to do this and are prepared to write some 
code yourself, please contact me off-list and I can suggest some 
starting points.
