Overview of Hatch Patterns and Fills
A hatch object displays a standard pattern of lines and dots used to highlight
an area, or to identify a material, such as steel or concrete. It can also display
a solid fill or a gradient fill.
Create hatches and fills with the HATCH command. The following illustration
includes a solid fill, a gradient fill, and a hatch pattern. The hatch pattern has
a hatch background color assigned to it.
Hatches and fills do not have to be bounded. In the following illustration, the
concrete hatches are bounded, while the earth hatches are unbounded.
