I would like to understand how to apply a hatch effect on an object.
I saw the "DialogLivePathEffect: Manage, edit, and apply path effects (Shift+Ctrl+7)" option, but I would like to know how to set it right.
--select=myobject --verb DialogLivePathEffect
but then, nothing. How does that work ? I would like to edit the different values inside as well..
The verb, as indicated by its name, simply opens the dialog (it is used internally for the menu item to open the path effect editor). Path effects cannot be _applied_ via verbs from the command line (i.e. without interaction in the GUI).
Verbs in Inkscape are rather limited: they do not take any parameters. AFAIU this prevents implementing support for applying and editing path effects from the command line via verbs (except maybe for path effects which do not have any parameters, like the 'Spiro Splines' effect).
