+A list of hatches can be specified to `~.axes.Axes.bar` and `~.axes.Axes.barh`
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Similar to some other rectangle properties, it is now possible to hand a list
+of hatch styles to `~.axes.Axes.bar` and `~.axes.Axes.barh` in order to create
+bars with different hatch styles, e.g.
+
+.. plot::
+
+  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+  fig, ax = plt.subplots()
+  ax.bar([1, 2], [2, 3], hatch=['+', 'o'])
+  plt.show()
