FILL

This is an experimental feature that may change in future versions.
It is provided for compatibility with the Windows version of BBC BASIC and to enhance the code readibility of the Z80 version.

A statement which performs a 'flood fill' in the current graphics foreground colour, starting at the specified point and continuing until non-background-colour pixels are found. FILL is followed by the X and Y coordinates of the starting point; the optional qualifier BY indicates that the coordinates are relative (offsets from the current graphics cursor position) rather than absolute.

FILL x,y is equivalent to PLOT 133,x,y. FILL BY x,y is equivalent to PLOT 129,x,y.

FILL is also used with the CIRCLE, ELLIPSE and RECTANGLE statements to indicate that a filled (solid) shape should be drawn.
