KM Hatch Fill

An Inkscape extension that fills closed shapes with parallel hatch lines. The extension generates vector line patterns inside shapes that can be used for engraving fills, texturing surfaces, or creating visual effects.

   • Linux: ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

   • Linux (Snap): ~/snap/inkscape/current/.config/inkscape/extensions/
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\inkscape\extensions\
2. Copy all files from this repository into your km-hatch/ directory.
