This one I did it manually, but I would imagine there is an easier way.
Maybe in 2 main steps (?):
1. Repeating the lines with Path Effects/Interpolate Sub-paths, or just Duplicate and Distribute.
2. Making a oval Mask to cut the lines or hide the parts that don't fit in the oval shape.

The above steps and just me thinking out load.

It is the second step that I have the hardest time with. Doing a mask like that I just don't know how.

Maybe there is a whole different approach.

Thanks guys!

Use the hatch extension, if you need it for plotting/cutting:

Depends on:

You can also try google translate with this article about hatches:

Thanks a bunch for the links Moini

Well there is the simple pattern fill in the Fill/Stroke menu also. (Those might not look great in a PDF.)

Thank you both for your help!

I recently did a tutorial on using the Axidraw extensions for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYzMujtnkfM

This is great!
Thanks for sharing cleversomeday
Very nice and clear video.

This extension is awesome!

That's a nice extension! It automates a long manual procedure and gives you all the options in a nice dialog box. Great job, if you are the writer of the extension.

Interesting how EvilMadScientists seems to think the official manual is actually the unofficial manual....

Scroll down to Tutorials section.

Well, it is unofficial. As there isn't an official one.

It's a copyrighted book that happens to be linked from inside Inkscape, because it is a good resource. It does not belong to the project.

I finally had the time to try this. Unfortunately the shape gets all filled up with black.
I tried the same settings you showed, and no matter what size the shape is, or if it is a shape or a path, it does the same

What could be the reason?

Thanks

I guess it depends on the size of your object and the line thickness: try to get access of the contour and adjust it accordingly:


Cheers

Yes, that's correct!

Thank you Polygon
