SVG <hatch> Element

Last Updated : 15 Oct, 2020

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. It can be used to make graphics and animations like in HTML canvas.

The <hatch> SVG element is used to stroke an object. It uses one or more pre-defined paths to fill an object. It repeats the path after a fixed interval in a specified direction to cover the areas to be painted.

Syntax:

<hatch x="" y="" pitch="" rotate="" hatchUnits="" 
hatchContentUnits="" transform="" href="">

Attributes:

x – It defines the x-axis coordinate in the user coordinate system.
y – It defines the y-axis coordinate in the user coordinate system.
rotate – It specifies how the animated element rotates as it travels along a path specified in an <animateMotion> element.
transform – It defines the list of transform definitions that are applied to an element and the element’s children.
href – It defines the link to a resource as a reference URL.

Example 1:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<body> 
    <svg viewBox="0 0 1100 400"> 
        <defs> 
            <hatch id="hatch" 
                hatchUnits="userSpaceOnUse" 
                pitch="5" rotate="135"> 
  
                <hatchpath stroke="#a080ff" 
                    stroke-width="2" /> 
            </hatch> 
        </defs> 
  
        <foreignObject x="95" y="12" 
            width="160" height="160" 
            color="Green"> 
              
            <div> 
                <br><br>GEEKSFORGEEKS<br><br> 
            </div> 
  
        </foreignObject> 
        <rect fill="url(#hatch)" 
            stroke="Green" stroke-width="2" 
            x="5%" y="5%" width="20%" 
            height="20%" /> 
    </svg> 
</body> 
  
</html>
