          The hatches are not perfectly straight (like the default ones in the patterns library) but they remain unchanged by scaling as shown in the above result.



          Straight hatch



          To do this, I enlarged the line that traces the hatching of an integer multiple hatchdistance (noninteger multiples pose problems that I have not yet understood).

            You do what one usually does: define the cell size a bit smaller than what the path actually covers. The problem is that if the width of the line exceeds 0.5pt, an overshoot by 1pt is no longer sufficient. So one may want to use a more generous overshoot. The following may be a bit "too generous" (but being
            generous has no real sideeffects here AFAIK), and this one seems to work for many viewers and zoom levels, i.e. some of the things but not all in your code are also viewer issues.

              By enlarging the bounding box sufficiently, the problem is solved.



              According to my calculations, it must be enlarged by at least 71%.

              The hatches are not perfectly straight (like the default ones in the patterns library) but they remain unchanged by scaling as shown in the above result.



              Straight hatch



              To do this, I enlarged the line that traces the hatching of an integer multiple hatchdistance (noninteger multiples pose problems that I have not yet understood).

                    You do what one usually does: define the cell size a bit smaller than what the path actually covers. The problem is that if the width of the line exceeds 0.5pt, an overshoot by 1pt is no longer sufficient. So one may want to use a more generous overshoot. The following may be a bit "too generous" (but being
                    generous has no real sideeffects here AFAIK), and this one seems to work for many viewers and zoom levels, i.e. some of the things but not all in your code are also viewer issues.

                    You do what one usually does: define the cell size a bit smaller than what the path actually covers. The problem is that if the width of the line exceeds 0.5pt, an overshoot by 1pt is no longer sufficient. So one may want to use a more generous overshoot. The following may be a bit "too generous" (but being
                    generous has no real sideeffects here AFAIK), and this one seems to work for many viewers and zoom levels, i.e. some of the things but not all in your code are also viewer issues.
