There is also anglestriped in mp-tool with some examples. The second argument changes the angle.

\startMPpage[offset=2mm]
  path p, q ;
  p := unitsquare scaled 4cm ;
  z1 = point 3.6 of p ;
  q := subpath (0,2) of p -- z1 -- cycle;
  q := q shifted(-4cm,-4cm);
  draw q anglestriped(1,180,6) withcolor blue;
  draw p ; 
\stopMPpage

(I have not yet found why the striped path q goes out of position. Looking at mp-tool may help.)

Try the mpost variable lableoffset := ? to adjust.
