Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format that can be used in web pages. It is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and can be used to display static or interactive vector images. SVG is used to create vector-based graphics that can be scaled to any size without losing quality. The files can be compressed to reduce their size, making them ideal for web pages.
Creating Hatching in SVG
Creating hatching in SVG is a relatively straightforward process. While there are a variety of techniques that can be used, the easiest way to create hatching in SVG is by using a combination of the SVG element, the element, and the element. The element is used to define the area in which the hatching will be applied, the element is used to define the pattern of the hatching, and the element is used to define the lines of the hatching.
Using the Element
The element is used to define the area in which the hatching will be applied. This element requires the following attributes: x (the x coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle), y (the y coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle), width (the width of the rectangle), and height (the height of the rectangle).
Using the Element
The element is used to define the pattern of the hatching. This element requires the following attributes: id (a unique identifier for the pattern), patternUnits (the units in which the pattern is defined – either userSpaceOnUse or objectBoundingBox), patternContentUnits (the units in which the pattern elements are defined), and patternTransform (the transform applied to the pattern elements).
Using the Element
The element is used to define the lines of the hatching. This element requires the following attributes: x1 (the x coordinate of the start of the line), y1 (the y coordinate of the start of the line), x2 (the x coordinate of the end of the line), and y2 (the y coordinate of the end of the line).

Adding Colors to the Hatching
Colors can be added to the hatching by using the element. This element requires the following attributes: offset (the position of the stop along the gradient), and stop-color (the color of the stop). The stop-color attribute can either be a color name or a hexadecimal color value.
Creating a Hatching Mask
A hatching mask can be created by using the element. This element requires the following attributes: id (a unique identifier for the mask), maskUnits (the units in which the mask is defined – either userSpaceOnUse or objectBoundingBox), maskContentUnits (the units in which the mask elements are defined), and maskTransform (the transform applied to the mask elements).
