Area Fill Algorithms?

  • Used to fill regions after their boundary or contour has been determined.
  • Handles Irregular boundaries
  • Supports freehand drawings
  • Deferred fills for speed (only fill visible parts)
  • Allows us to recolor primitives
  • Can be adapted for other uses (selecting regions)
  • Unaware of any other primitives previously drawn.
  • Later we'll discuss filling areas during rasterization
