<hatch>

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The <hatch> SVG element is used to fill or stroke an object using one or more pre-defined paths that are repeated at fixed intervals in a specified direction to cover the areas to be painted.

Hatches defined by the <hatch> element can then referenced by the fill and stroke CSS properties on a given graphics element to indicate that the given element shall be filled or stroked with the hatch. Paths are defined by <hatchpath> elements.
