FWIW, it's not consistent even within VFP. Here's what we said in HackFox about it:

FillStyle offers two diagonal styles—4 and 5—labeled "upward diagonal" and "downward diagonal." For no reason we can fathom, these are interpreted differently for shapes than for graphic objects drawn with Box and Circle. We think shapes are getting it right and that graphics are confused. Regardless, it's pretty strange when you have two objects with the same FillStyle and the lines go one way in one and the other way in the other.
