I have the following code
documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.10,
ticks=none}
usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
usetikzlibrary{backgrounds,
calc,
patterns}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=4, transform shape]
tikzset{
myc/.pic={
draw[line width=2mm] (0, 0) -| (2, 1) -| (1, 2) -| (2, 3) -| cycle;
}
}
path (0,0) pic[fill=green] {myc} (1,3) pic[fill=blue] {myc} (2,6) pic[fill=blue] {myc};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
The code defines the outline of a tile in the line starting with tikzset{
I want to put this tile at various places and I want to use different colors to fill the tile. The above code is one of the attempts to get this done, which however does not work.
The output I get is the following:
I very recently learnt about the tikzset command (thanks to TeXstackexchange) and have no understanding of it. Can somebody please help me here and also, if possible, suggest a reference.

@caffeinemachine I personally preferpic actionsover an argument in the pic in this case because you can then adddashedand/ordraw=redand so on which you cannot do in the same simple way if you use arguments of thepics.

@caffeinemachine Alright, it is in section 18, especially 18.3. It tells you how to define newpics. Reading about the key handler and the example on page 264, you will know thatpicis, literally, a kind of style. So you read about.stylekey handler in section 87.4.4, page 966, and boom, you know how to add one, or two, or even nine arguments to apic.
