Things to try
- Set the hatch slant to zero. Watch the lean disappear while the lines stay put.
- Raise the slant a few steps at a time. Note where the lean starts for you.
- Change the hatch spacing and stroke length. Compare a sparse pattern with a dense one.
At the default settings this image measures 520 by 350 px. The sweep on the Zöllner page tracks Hatch slant from vertical (degrees); 0 removes the illusion and marks these values as weak: 0 to 20 deg.
