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

Example

import { AreaClosed } from '@visx/shape';
import { PatternLines } from '@visx/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.
