Is it possible to fill MATLAB plots with hatching?
Show older comments
In other words, I do not want to 'fill' the color of a patch completely, as I would with the CONTOURC function. Instead, I would like to fill the patch with hatching, so that the patch looks like it is filled with '/', or '\'.

There is no built-in function in MATLAB that provides this functionality. This enhancement request has been forwarded to our development staff to be reviewed for a future release of MATLAB.
However, certain user contributed files, applyhatch.m and makehatch.m, provide the functionality to replace distinct colors in a figure window with hatch patterns. These files can be downloaded from MATLAB Central File Exchange, http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral Use the keyword 'hatch' to find the above files.
These are user-contributed files that have not been fully tested by, and therefore are not officially supported by MathWorks.

Not as far as I know. Using hatchfill2() is cumbersome if you're setting up legends, but it seems to be the easiest option.
