The "Preset hatch for fills" extension applies a number of Eggbot-friendly settings to all Inkscape "Hatches (rough)" path effects in your current drawing.  What does that mean?  In short, when you're trying to create filled regions, a good techniques is to use Inkscape's Path Effect Editor tool to add an effect called "Hatches (rough)".  To then make those hatches more effective for area fills in Eggbot plots, a number of settings associated with the effect should be changed.  This extension automatically makes those changes for you.  This process is extensively documented in [[Drawing a smiley face, part 3|Part&nbsp;3]] of the [[Drawing a smiley face]] tutorial.  Please refer to that tutorial for step-by-step instructions on using this extension as well as this hatch feature of Inkscape.

-The "Preset hatch for fills" extension solves a very specific problem that comes up when you are trying to create filled (colored-in) areas with the Eggbot.
-We normally recommend using the [[Hatch fill]] extension for most applications where you need to fill a region. However, one of the other several methods for [[Creating filled regions]] involves the use of an Inkscape "live path effect" with the ungainly name of "Hatches (rough)."  The process for using this to create filled regions is documented in [[Drawing a smiley face, part 3|Part&nbsp;3]] of the [[Drawing a smiley face]] tutorial.   As part of that process, you need to manually set a surprisingly large number of parameters by hand.
-To save you the trouble of entering those parameters by hand, we created this "Preset hatch for fills" extension, which automatically makes those changes for you.  The extension applies a number of Eggbot-friendly settings to all path effects in the document that have type "Hatches (rough)."    As the process is extensively documented in [[Drawing a smiley face, part 3|Part&nbsp;3]] of the [[Drawing a smiley face]] tutorial, please refer to that tutorial for step-by-step instructions on using this extension.
