Hi,
I see there is a “hatch: unknown” kwarg mentioned in the hist() documentation. Can anyone shed some light on how to use this please? I assume it might be used to generate monochrome rectangles with differentiating hatched fills?

The rectangles generates by "hist" are matplotlib.patch.Rectangle
instances, and the "hatch" property is controlled by the "set_hatch"
method. Here is the docstring which should tell you most everything
you need to know. Note the caveat at the end that it is only
currently supported on postscript -- patches for other backends much
obliged
def set_hatch(self, h):
"""
Set the hatching pattern
hatch can be one of::
/ - diagonal hatching
\ - back diagonal
> - vertical
- - horizontal
# - crossed
x - crossed diagonal
Letters can be combined, in which case all the specified
hatchings are done. If same letter repeats, it increases the
density of hatching in that direction.
CURRENT LIMITATIONS:
1. Hatching is supported in the PostScript backend only.
2. Hatching is done with solid black lines of width 0.
