Hi,  
I would like to add patterns to a Plot.bar chart (or polygons in a Plot.carto map 😉 ) like explained in the notebook [Q: Textures in Plot charts (or maps with Plot.carto) / Enrico Spinielli / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@espinielli/q-textures-in-plot-charts-or-maps-with-plot-carto)

Any ideas or suggestions?
