HatchFilling

HatchFilling[]

is a two-dimensional graphics directive that specifies that faces of polygons and other filled graphics objects are to be drawn using closely spaced parallel lines.

HatchFilling["name"]

uses the specified line hatching "name".

HatchFilling[θ]

draws parallel lines with an angle θ.

HatchFilling[θ,r]

draws parallel lines with absolute thickness r.

HatchFilling[θ,r,d]

draws parallel lines with gaps of absolute thickness d.

Details

  • HatchFilling is also known as hatch or striped pattern.
  • HatchFilling is typically used to fill two‐dimensional polygons and areas with stripes.
  • Possible line hatching includes:
  • "Diagonal"diagonal lines
    "Horizontal"horizontal lines
    "Vertical"vertical lines
  • HatchFilling[θ,r,d] specifies that faces of filled graphics objects are to be drawn using parallel lines with an angle θ from the horizontal, a thickness r and distance d.
  • HatchFilling[] is effectively equivalent to HatchFilling[Pi/4].
