- <li>Prepare the entities that surround the hatching area so they form a
- closed contour. The contour must be closed in a way that one entity is
- connected to the next one as shown at the right in this example:
- <br/>
- <img src="HatchFromSelectionBoundary.png" class="figure"/>
- </li>
- <li>Select the contour(s) you want to fill. Note that islands inside contours
- will get hatched if they are not selected:
- <br/>
- <img src="HatchFromSelectionIslands.png" class="figure"/>
- </li>
- <li>Launch the hatch tool.</li>
- <li>A dialog for the hatch options is displayed. Choose a hatch
- pattern, scale factor and a rotation angle for the hatch pattern. If you want
- to fill the object with a solid color instead of a pattern, check the
- check box "Solid Fill".</li>
- <li>Click 'OK' to proceed with the hatching. Depending on the complexity of
- the contour and the scale factor of the chosen pattern, it might take a while
- to create the hatch.</li>
- </ol>
