Graphics.fillPolygon

Syntax 1

public abstract void fillPolygon( int xPoints[], int yPoints[], int nPoints )

Parameters

xPoints: a an array of x coordinates.
yPoints: a an array of y coordinates.
nPoints: a the total number of points.

Description

Fills a closed polygon defined by arrays of x and y coordinates.

This method draws the polygon defined by nPoint line segments, where the first nPoint - 1 line segments are line segments from (xPoints[i - 1], yPoints[i - 1]) to (xPoints[i], yPoints[i]), for 1 ≤ i ≤ nPoints. The figure is automatically closed by drawing a line connecting the final point to the first point, if those points are different.

The area inside the polygon is defined using an even-odd fill rule, also known as the alternating rule.

Syntax 2

public void fillPolygon( Polygon p )

Parameters

p: the polygon to fill.

Description

Fills the polygon defined by the specified Polygon object with the graphics context's current color.

The area inside the polygon is defined using an even-odd fill rule, also known as the alternating rule.
