How to: Fill a Shape with a Hatch Pattern
A hatch pattern is made from two colors: one for the background and one for the lines that form the pattern over the background. To fill a closed shape with a hatch pattern, use a xref:System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush object. The following example demonstrates how to fill an ellipse with a hatch pattern:
Example
The xref:System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush.%23ctor%2A constructor takes three arguments: the hatch style, the color of the hatch line, and the color of the background. The hatch style argument can be any value from the xref:System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle enumeration. There are more than fifty elements in the xref:System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle enumeration; a few of those elements are shown in the following list:
The following illustration shows the filled ellipse.

Compiling the Code
The preceding example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgse, which is a parameter of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint event handler.
