This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
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.
