Sorry to be slow, I have been abroad until today. Erhm... I'm not exactly a specialist in whatever you want to obtain. Should you give me an example of an "natural looking hatchings", I'll try and see if R can produce it.
the image at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatching or do an image search for "cross hatching"
Otherwise you are right, I thought you meant hatchings used for monochrome pie charts, but R can basically produce anything you want (including, for example, SVG geographical maps).
