The <pattern> element defines a graphic that can be repeated (tiled) to
fill an area.
Why use a Pattern?
Patterns allow you to create complex fills like dots, stripes, or textures without drawing every individual shape manually.
- Tiling: You define a small tile (e.g., a 10x10 square with a circle in it) and SVG will repeat it infinitely to fill a shape of any size.
- Efficiency: Just like gradients, patterns are defined once in
<defs>and then referenced byfill="url(#my-pattern)".
Attributes
width,height- The size of the repeating tile.pattern_units- Defines how thewidthandheightare calculated ("userSpaceOnUse"or"objectBoundingBox").view_box- Can be used to make the content of the pattern responsive within its tile.
Examples
# A simple 10x10 dot pattern
dot = Vectored.Elements.Circle.new(5, 5, 2)
pattern = Vectored.Elements.Pattern.new([dot])
|> Vectored.Elements.Pattern.with_id("dots")
|> Vectored.Elements.Pattern.with_size(10, 10)
|> Vectored.Elements.Pattern.with_pattern_units("userSpaceOnUse")
# Use it to fill a rectangle
Vectored.Elements.Rectangle.new(0, 0, 100, 100)
|> Vectored.Elements.Rectangle.with_fill("url(#dots)")
Summary
Functions
Append a child element to the pattern tile.
Remove a dataset attribute
Create a new pattern with an optional list of children.
Set a dataset attribute. Mimics the DOM Element.dataset API. The key will be converted from camelCase to kebab-case for the data-* attribute.

Functions
Append a child element to the pattern tile.
Remove a dataset attribute
@spec new([Vectored.Renderable.t()]) :: t()
Create a new pattern with an optional list of children.
Set a dataset attribute. Mimics the DOM Element.dataset API. The key will be converted from camelCase to kebab-case for the data-* attribute.
Security
The key is converted to an atom at render time (required by :xmerl).
Never pass untrusted/user-derived strings as key — unbounded distinct
keys exhaust the atom table and crash the BEAM. Use static key names.
