(It treats the inner cutout path as a separate path to be filled with hatching.) The set of four shapes on the right have the same hatch applied, but we've also pasted a copy of the original outline shapes on top, to give more definition than you get from the fill alone. As you can see, it works well on three of the four shapes but again it does not work on "hollow" areas. In the middle set of four shapes, we've applied the hatch procedure as outlined above. The four original (filled) shapes are on the left: A star, a square, a square with a star punched out- essentially a hollow, ring-shaped fill region - and a smaller square with a star punched out (a set of multiple disjoint regions). This "live path effect" hatching method can handle paths that consist of multiple disjoint regions, for example, a set of stars or non-intersecting circles, but it does not work with "hollow" regions, for example a ring or washer (2D torus) shape. You may also need to use the Fill & Stroke panel to set the stroke to be a visible pen and the fill to "none." A separate tutorial on using this method (skipping the extension) can be found here. Use the "edit paths by node" tool to set the angle, spacing, and bending of the lines.(Optional this changes the hatch parameters to pleasant defaults.) Use the extension to set defaults: Extensions>Eggbot>Preset hatch for fills.Apply new effect: Hatches (rough) and click "+Add".
Open the live path effect editor: Path>Path Effect Editor.This method is described in detail in our smiley face tutorial. These two fill methods can be used to fill closed shapes with pen paths.
