pattern generator

[Bug Importer]

Patterns are extremely important when drawing diagrams for b&w-prints. For
the most essential patterns (stripes, dots, crosshatch) a generator would
be nice, that allows the user to quickly choose:
- colors (foreground/background)
- size(width) of line/dot
- spacing
- orientation
I'm pretty sure it would be fairly easy to implement, and it would cover a
basic necessity plus save newbies a lot of trouble and stress.

thanks for the awesome tool. I LOVE inkscape.
cheers

Originator: NO

This hasn't been implemented yet, because a) there is no renderer which
properly antialiases fine patterns and b) Inkscape's pattern rendering
produces seams (so stripes/crosshatch are clearly a no-no).

It sort of works if you export at very high DPI and print it (seams become
invisible and lack of antialiasing is hard to notice) or if it's
downsampled afterwards.

Hi, this has also been reported to Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/864), so closing the issue here.
