XFillPolygon()															    XFillPolygon()

Name
  XFillPolygon - fill a polygon.

Synopsis
  XFillPolygon(display, drawable, gc, points, npoints, shape, mode)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	XPoint *points;
	int npoints;
	int shape;
	int mode;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  points    Specifies a pointer to an array of points.

  npoints   Specifies the number of points in the array.

  shape     Specifies  an  argument  that helps the server to improve performance.  Pass the last constant in this list that is valid for the
	    polygon to be filled: Complex, Nonconvex, or Convex.

  mode	    Specifies the coordinate mode.  Pass either CoordModeOrigin or CoordModePrevious.

Description
  XFillPolygon() fills the region closed by the specified path.  Some but not all of the path itself will be drawn.  The path is closed auto-
  matically if the last point in the list does not coincide with the first point.  No pixel of the region is drawn more than once.

  The mode argument affects the interpretation of the points that define the polygon:

  o  CoordModeOrigin indicates that all points are relative to the drawable's origin.

  o  CoordModePrevious	indicates that all points after the first are relative to the previous point.  (The first point is always relative to
     the drawable's origin.)

  The shape argument allows the fill routine to optimize its performance given tips on the configuration of the area.

  o  Complex indicates the path may self-intersect.  The fill_rule of the GC must be consulted to determine which areas are filled.  See Vol-
     ume One, Chapter 5, The Graphics Context, for a discussion of the fill rules EvenOddRule and WindingRule.

  o  Nonconvex	indicates the path does not self-intersect, but the shape is not wholly convex.  If known by the client, specifying Nonconvex
     instead of Complex may improve performance.  If you specify Nonconvex for a self-intersecting path, the graphics results are undefined.

  o  Convex means that for every pair of points inside the polygon, the line segment connecting them does not intersect the path.  Convex can
     improve performance even more than Nonconvex, but if the path is not convex, the graphics results are undefined.

  Contiguous coincident points in the path are not treated as self-intersection.

  XFillPolygon()  uses these graphics context components when filling the polygon area:  function, plane_mask, fill_style, fill_rule, subwin-
  dow_mode, clip_ x_origin, clip_y_origin, and clip_mask.  This function also uses these mode-dependent components  of	the  GC:  foreground,
  background,					  tile, 				    stipple,					ts_x_
  origin, and ts_y_origin.
