I'm confused here.  The manual says "The fill_rule defines what pixels
are inside (drawn) for paths given in XFillPolygon requests."  I
believe you mean that fill_style is used to determine this.

I would treat the path as the line drawn using FillSolid since any
other method could leave a broken path.  Obviously cap_style should
be taken into consideration.

Note: I have no idea if anyone else on xpert is discussing this since
I'm not on the list.  Please send a copy to madd@bu-it.bu.edu if you
are replying to this.  Additionally, I get about ten bounces on
everything I send to xpert -- several of which are bad addresses -- so
someone might want to fix them.  I will compile the bounces and email
them to whomever maintains xpert if requested.
