r""" Set the hatching pattern. *hatch* can be one of:: / - diagonal hatching \ - back diagonal | - vertical - - horizontal + - crossed x - crossed diagonal o - small circle O - large cir

        r"""
        Set the hatching pattern.

        *hatch* can be one of::

          /   - diagonal hatching
          \   - back diagonal
          |   - vertical
          -   - horizontal
          +   - crossed
          x   - crossed diagonal
          o   - small circle
          O   - large circle
          .   - dots
          *   - stars

        Letters can be combined, in which case all the specified
        hatchings are done.  If same letter repeats, it increases the
        density of hatching of that pattern.
