I’m able to use background-image with a gradient to generate a stipple pattern for a div (upper square), but I can’t seem to make an SVG element (lower square) use that as a fill.
I don’t want to use a defs or pattern definition as I’m using d3.js to create my SVGs, so ideally I’m looking for a pure CSS solution.

background-image: radial-gradient(black 0.5px, transparent 0.5px),
radial-gradient(black 0.5px, transparent 0.5px);

background-position: 0 0, 2.5px 2.5px;
