I have no idea for reducing distance of dots (lines) in tikz dotted (horizontal lines) pattern. I find some similar examples in this website (like this), but it was so complicated. Can someone give me some hints?

2Could you please list the codes that you found and explain why you do not like them? Otherwise there is a danger you will get the same answer again. – Feb 04 '19 at 15:04

For example see this one:https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42003/decorating-with-random-steps-a-filling-pattern or https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54358/custom-and-built-in-tikz-fill-patterns – Feb 04 '19 at 15:05

2I have a hard time seeing how this is directly related to your question. This post discusses a random pattern of solid lines, doesn't it? And please add the relevant information to your question, and not in comments. – Feb 04 '19 at 15:09

\documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}
\pgfdeclarepatternformonly{mydots}{\pgfqpoint{-1pt}{-1pt}}{\pgfqpoint{1pt}{1pt}}{\pgfqpoint{2pt}{2pt}}% original definition: \pgfqpoint{3pt}{3pt}
{%
\pgfpathcircle{\pgfqpoint{0pt}{0pt}}{.5pt}%
\pgfusepath{fill}%
}%
\pgfdeclarepatternformonly{mynewdots}{\pgfqpoint{-1pt}{-1pt}}{\pgfqpoint{1pt}{1pt}}{\pgfqpoint{1pt}{1pt}}% original definition: \pgfqpoint{3pt}{3pt}
{%
\pgfpathcircle{\pgfqpoint{0pt}{0pt}}{.5pt}%
\pgfusepath{fill}%
}%
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[pattern=dots] (0,0) rectangle ++(3,3);
\draw[pattern=mydots] (4,0) rectangle ++(3,3);
\draw[pattern=mynewdots] (8,0) rectangle ++(3,3);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Very nice. And what about line case? Do i allowed to use this patteren without referencing in literatures? – Feb 04 '19 at 18:08

@C.F.G You can use this code as you want. But, if it solves your problem, you could accept the answer ;-) – Ignasi Feb 05 '19 at 08:32
