`matplotlib.hatch`#

Module for generating hatch patterns.

For examples of using the hatch API, see Hatch style reference.

The following hatching patterns are available, shown here at level 2 density:

(Source code, 2x.png, png)

8 squares, each showing the pattern corresponding to the hatch symbol: symbol '/' makes right leaning diagonals, '\' makes left leaning diagonals, '|' makes vertical lines, '-' makes horizontal lines, '+' makes a grid, 'X' makes a grid rotated 90 degrees, 'o' makes small unfilled circles, 'O' makes large unfilled circles, '.' makes small filled circles, and '*' makes a star with 5 points
