Discrete Hachure Density Blocks

[pinakographos]

When you look closely, oftentime the hachure density goes from some particular value, to exactly double that value.

This makes a certain sense: you have a set of hachure lines that are near-parallel, and then they space out just enough to allow one line to go in-between each pair, doubling the line count. There's no real way to do less than double.

Not sure if I need to solve this, or how. Could make more space by breaking hachures occasionally. Essentially a random factor in the hachure_generator that terminates lines prematurely. This would give more open spaces for hachures to start at different intervals.

An ugly option would be to pick an occasional contour and clip off every hachure against that contour, and start a whole new set going forward. Creates a total reset in spacing values. But, would be unnatural and abrupt.

In any case, this is on the backburner for a bit, I think. May never solve it because it might not be needed.
