Hello!
Does someone know how to fill an object with hatching? I guess I should use the Fill->Pattern way, but how to makes sure the connections between the lines are good? Any tutorial or simpler solutions, welcome!
Thank you!

Indeed there's a bug due to which open lines have wrong bbox, which leads to visible joints when a line is converted to pattern. To make sure line joints are seamless, just use a narrow horizontal rectangle instead of a line as the object from which you make your fill. Then you can scale/rotate the fill to get any angle you need.

Thanks for your answer, but I cannot get this working, I am not sure I have well understood what you've explained.
When I tried having a rectangle rotated, my hatching are not continued . I think because the corner bonding box of the rotated rectangle is further than the rectangle end, with the shear tool it gave also something similar...

I hear that the Linux programmers of Xara and Inkscape talked at the latest Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon. Can anyone here give us any details? And how Xara may influence Inkscape?
For those interested I did a piece with Xara, taking less than 15 minutes, and it's shown on my website as "Getting Out More":

Left click on the image to get a 800-pixel view. Even that view is heavily JPG compressed. Xara is one neat design program for one-page at a time. Just about has it all, text, picture, effects, etc. I'm posting another piece soon with even more drama. <smile>
