Default 2003 "Pattern" fill effect

I am now using Excel 2007. Excel 2003 had a format data series fill effect
of "Pattern". It allowed selection of various line and dot patterns for a
stacked bar chart for example. I can't find this "Pattern" data series fill
effect in Excel 2007. Has it been removed? Thanks!

Hi,

The UI has been removed but via code it is still possible to set the
patterns.
I have an addin which provides a UI in xl2007

They removed it, but Andy Pope has an add-in that restores it:
