ARGUMENTS
     angle1    Specifies the start of the arc relative to the three-o'clock
               position from the center, in units of degrees * 64.

     angle2    Specifies the path and extent of the arc relative to the start
               of the arc, in units of degrees * 64.

     arcs      Specifies a pointer to an array of arcs.

     d         Specifies the drawable.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     gc        Specifies the GC.

     mode      Specifies the coordinate mode. You can pass CoordModeOrigin or
               CoordModePrevious.

     narcs     Specifies the number of arcs in the array.

     npoints   Specifies the number of points in the array.

     nrectangles
               Specifies the number of rectangles in the array.

     points    Specifies a pointer to an array of points.

     rectangles
               Specifies a pointer to an array of rectangles.

     shape     Specifies a shape that helps the server to improve performance.
               You can pass Complex, Convex, or Nonconvex.

     width
     height    Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of the
               rectangle to be filled or the major and minor axes of the arc.

     x
     y         Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
               origin of the drawable and specify the upper-left corner of the
               rectangle.

DESCRIPTION
     The XFillRectangle and XFillRectangles functions fill the specified
     rectangle or rectangles as if a four-point FillPolygon protocol request
     were specified for each rectangle:

     [x,y] [x+width,y] [x+width,y+height] [x,y+height]
Each function uses the x and y coordinates, width and height dimensions, and
GC you specify.

     XFillRectangles fills the rectangles in the order listed in the array.
     For any given rectangle, XFillRectangle and XFillRectangles do not draw a
     pixel more than once. If rectangles intersect, the intersecting pixels
     are drawn multiple times.

     Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style,
     subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.  They also
     use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile,
     stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

     XFillRectangle and XFillRectangles can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and
     BadMatch errors.

     XFillPolygon fills the region closed by the specified path.  The path is
     closed automatically if the last point in the list does not coincide with
     the first point.  XFillPolygon does not draw a pixel of the region more
     than once.  CoordModeOrigin treats all coordinates as relative to the
     origin, and CoordModePrevious treats all coordinates after the first as
     relative to the previous point.

     Depending on the specified shape, the following occurs:

     ⊕    If shape is Complex, the path may self-intersect.

     ⊕    If shape is Convex, the path is wholly convex. If known by the
          client, specifying Convex can improve performance. If you specify
          Convex for a path that is not convex, the graphics results are
          undefined.

     ⊕    If shape is Nonconvex, the path does not self-intersect, but the
          shape is not wholly convex. If known by the client, specifying
          Nonconvex instead of Complex may improve performance. If you specify
          Nonconvex for a self-intersecting path, the graphics results are
          undefined.

     The fill-rule of the GC controls the filling behavior of self-
     intersecting polygons.

     This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style,
     fill-rule, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
     It also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background,
     tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

     XFillPolygon can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
     errors.

     For each arc, XFillArc or XFillArcs fills the region closed by the
     infinitely thin path described by the specified arc and, depending on the
     arc-mode specified in the GC, one or two line segments. For ArcChord, the
     single line segment joining the endpoints of the arc is used. For
     ArcPieSlice, the two line segments joining the endpoints of the arc with
     the center point are used. XFillArcs fills the arcs in the order listed
     in the array. For any given arc, XFillArc and XFillArcs do not draw a
     pixel more than once. If regions intersect, the intersecting pixels are
     drawn multiple times.

     Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style,
     arc-mode, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
     They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background,
     tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

     XFillArc and XFillArcs can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch
     errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadDrawable
               A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window
               or Pixmap.

     BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined
               GContext.

     BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

     BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
               range but fails to match in some other way required by the
               request.

     BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
               by the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for an
               argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
               accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
               generate this error.
