Geometric Shape Fills
The shape fill property specifies how QuickDraw GX interprets the geometric points of a geometric shape's geometry. There are two basic types of shape fills:
Figure 1-4 shows an example of a polygon contour similar to the one in Figure 1-3, and how QuickDraw GX might draw it with a framed fill and with a solid fill.
- Framed fills. These shape fills indicate that QuickDraw GX should interpret the shape as an outline--as a series of edges.
- Solid fills. These shape fills indicate that QuickDraw GX should interpret the shape as a solid area--the edges of the shape represent the boundaries of the area.

For more information about the various kinds of shape fills provided by QuickDraw GX, see the chapter "Geometric Shapes" in this book.
