<p><b>Hatching</b> (sometimes called hachure, from the French word) is a conventional system for monochrome denotation of <a href="page.php?w=heraldry">heraldic</a> armory, whereby the <a href="page.php?w=tincture_%28heraldry%29">tinctures</a> (colours) are represented by dots and lines. This technique is employed in cases where colours, for either aesthetic, practical or economic reasons are not reproduced - e.g. on surfaces such as <a href="page.php?w=woodcut">woodcut</a>s or <a href="page.php?w=engraving">engraving</a>s, <a href="page.php?w=seal_%28emblem%29">seals</a></p><p>
