Shape Properties

The properties of a shape object for the most part define the basic geometric characteristics of the shape. Shape objects have properties. Because a shape is an object and not a data structure, the order of the properties is completely arbitrary.

The fill property, which is used for paths, is a value that determines how a shape is filled or framed when drawn. QuickDraw GX provides a number of different ways of filling a shape. For example, a shape might have a solid fill, which indicates that the shape is solid--that is, the entire area enclosed by the sides of the rectangle is included in the shape. Alternatively, a shape might have a framed fill, which indicates that the shape is hollow. The section "Shape Fill" discusses types of shape fill.
