You could use TextureBrush instead of HatchBrush.

If you look at HatchBrush.cs[^] source, you can see, that it is based on GDI+ (native) hatch styles, so you have little chance to add new one that way.

Thanks. But I think TextureBrush will work only with Bitmaps. But I need to fill with vector so that in any zoom level it does not get distorted.

In wpf you can use vector brushes, like here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/45584/Vector-Brush-Library
