This didn't work for me-- the hatch lines would not rotate in my figures, and no hatch lines were drawn using "hatch demo." Perhaps an issue with my Linux_64 machine?
Now need to include 'v6' as first arg to bar function in order for demo to work. Even though this was exactly what I was looking for (and amazed that this isn't built in), I ended up not using it partly because I didn't understand why exactly horizontal or exactly vertical lines jump one pixel -- wasn't asthetic to my eye for manuscript quality.
Very useful, thanks a lot!
One tiny change worth making: the function definition on the first line is missing its output variables. Change to:
function lh = hatch(obj,angle,color,style,step,width)
if you want access to the handle (lh).
