Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating existing fillpattern support and the scatterternary trace implementation, then identify the related tests; done means patterns can distinguish areas in scatterternary plots and the behavior is covered by tests.

Description

enhancement feature P3 size: 5
Description

It would be great if fillpattern was supported in scatterternary plots.

Why should this feature be added?

Being able to apply different patterns to different areas of the ternary plot would help us satisfy the WCAG success criteria 1.4.1 (use of colour), specifically that "colour should not be the sole identifier".

Many thanks
