--- Create a pattern from a given string.

-- Alternatively, patterns can be specified via tables. In this case, the
-- table's 'type' member specifies the type. For example:
-- { type = "radial", from = { 50, 50, 10 }, to = { 55, 55, 30 },
--   stops = { { 0, "#ff0000" }, { 0.5, "#00ff00" }, { 1, "#0000ff" } } }
-- Any argument that cannot be understood is passed to create_solid_pattern().
-- @see create_solid_pattern, create_png_pattern, create_linear_pattern,
--      create_radial_pattern
-- @param col The string describing the pattern.
