#' Line patterned grobs
#'
#' `grid.pattern_line()` draws a line pattern onto the graphic device.
#' Unlike [grid.pattern_stripe()] which fills bands with solid colour,
#' this pattern draws stroked lines using the device's native line rendering,
#' enabling all of R's built-in `linetype` values (including `"dotdash"`,
#' `"twodash"`, and custom line types specified as hex strings per `?par`).
#'
#' @inheritParams grid.pattern_circle
#' @inheritParams alphaMaskGrob
#' @param lineend Line end style, one of `"round"` (default), `"butt"`, or `"square"`.
#' @param stagger If `TRUE`, alternate lines are shifted by half the dash period so that
#'   dashes of adjacent lines interleave.
#'   Computed from `linetype` and `linewidth` per `?par`.  Default `FALSE`.
#' @return A grid grob object invisibly.  If `draw` is `TRUE` then also draws to the graphic device as a side effect.
#' @examples
#' x_hex <- 0.5 + 0.5 * cos(seq(2 * pi / 4, by = 2 * pi / 6, length.out = 6))
#' y_hex <- 0.5 + 0.5 * sin(seq(2 * pi / 4, by = 2 * pi / 6, length.out = 6))
