Vectorial hatching is a hatch pattern assigned to a surface material and can be seen in sections/elevations, 3D Documents and the 3D window when it is set to the vectorial engine.
These are just lines that represent your material pattern.

Textures are also applied to the surface material but can only be seen when the 3D window is set to OpenGL or when you do an actual render.
This is an actual image file (i.e. JPG) that represents the actual material.

Is this what you wanted to know?
