    Alexander -

    I'm pretty much a beginner at SVG, so this might be a stupid question,
    but: How can I go about stroking a picture with an arbitrary pattern
    that I want repeated throughout the area? In my case, I want a
    "hatched" pattern of diagonal lines. I know how to draw a simple tile
    but unless I can repeat that tile using a pattern I'm not sure how to
    achieve what I want.

    Is there any plans to enhance XEP's SVG support anytime soon so that
    patterns will be supported?

    Thanks,

    - Tim
