Hatch patterns are commonly used in graphics software to highlight distinct areas of a map or drawing.  There are three general techniques for filling in polygonal areas on a software canvas:  

   * flood with a single defined colour - currently this method is supported by the Tk canvas.
   * fill with tiled raster image, and 
   * fill with repeated vector pattern

This page is dedicated to the discussion of the repeated vector pattern.
