dashing - a library for autocad-style hatch patterns
License: permissive (zlib); see source files for additional details.
On a i5-3320M in benchmark mode, it runs at over 175 million dashes per second:

Development status
The author (@jepler) is not actively using or developing this project. Issues and pull requests are not likely to be acted on. I would be interested in passing this project to a new maintainer.
Usage
API
xyhatch(const HatchPattern&, It start, It end, Cb cb, Wr wr):
Iterators start..end define a range of segments, which must define a set of closed contours.
The winding rule wr defines which regions are in the interior of the contours.
For each dash or dot in the resulting hatch, cb is called with the output segment.
xyhatch(const HatchPattern&, const C &segments, Cb cb, Wr wr):
The container C holds segments which must define a set of closed
contours.
The winding rule wr defines which regions are in the interior of the contours.
For each dash or dot in the resulting hatch, cb is called with the output segment.
parse_numbers(std::string line): Read a comma and/or space-separated
sequence of numbers into a vector
Useful winding rules include:
[](int i) { return i % 2 != 0; }, the even-odd winding rule[](int i) { return i != 0;}, the non-zero winding rule[](int i) { return i > 0;}, the greater-than-zero winding rule
but any predicate of a single integer may be used.
Other items in the header files are implementation details.
Demo program
The demo program, which compiles to dashing with make, reads a dash
pattern file and a segment list file and produces a svg file on the output
which visualizes the result of the hatch operation.
A segment list file consists of a closed contour on each line specified as a series of x,y coordinates. For instance, this segment list is a simple box:
-100 -100 100 -100 100 100 -100 100
The first point is -100 -100.
It accepts several commandline parameters:
-b: Benchmark mode: print only the number of dashes that would have been
generated
-j: Apply a jitter to all coordinates in the segment list file
-s: scale the dash pattern file by a given factor
-r rulename: select the given rulename, one of the following: odd nonzero positive negative abs_geq_two
