@vx/pattern

Inspired by: http://riccardoscalco.github.io/textures/

Example

import { AreaClosed } from '@vx/shape';
import { PatternLines } from '@vx/pattern';

const PatternArea = () => {
  return (
    <svg>
      <PatternLines
        id="lines"
        height={5}
        width={5}
        stroke={'black'}
        strokeWidth={1}
        orientation={['diagonal']}
      />
      <AreaClosed fill="url('#lines')" />
    </svg>
  );
};

The Definition Caveat

Like gradients, patterns are "defined." When you put down a <PatternXYZ />, it's putting a <pattern/> attribute in the SVG.

It's often better to think of these as variable definitions rather than true DOM elements. When you use fill="url('#pattern')" you're referencing the pattern's id: pattern.

Pre-Made Patterns

PatternsLines

<PatternLines
  id="lines"
  height={5}
  width={5}
  stroke={'black'}
  strokeWidth={1}
  orientation={['diagonal']}
/>

PatternsWaves
