Bug summary

The only way (that I am aware of) to control the linewidth of hatches is through an rc parameter. But temporarily modifying the parameter withplt.rc_context has not effect.

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltplt.figure().subplots().bar([0,1], [1,2],hatch=["/","."],fc="r")withplt.rc_context({"hatch.linewidth":5}):plt.figure().subplots().bar([0,1], [1,2],hatch=["/","."],fc="g")plt.rc("hatch",linewidth=5)plt.figure().subplots().bar([0,1], [1,2],hatch=["/","."],fc="b")

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

That second image (the green bars) should have thick hatches.

FWIW I think hatches ought to have an actual API, but given that they don't, this limitation makes themreally hard to work with.
