fillpoly() function in C

Concept
Now the header file graphics.h contains fillpoly() function which is implemented to draw and fill a
polygon such as triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon etc. So this function require same
arguments as drawpoly().

Syntax
void fillpoly( int number, int *polypoints );

In this case,number indicates (n + 1) number of points where, n is the number of vertices in a


polygon and polypoints points to a sequence of (n*2) integers.

Input 

arr[] = {320, 150, 400, 250, 250, 350, 320, 150};

Output 

Explanation 

So the declaration of fillpoly() contains two arguments: number specifies (n + 1) number of


points where n is indicated as the number of vertices in a polygon.The second argument, such
as, polypoints points to a sequence of (n * 2) integers. As a result of this,each pair of integers
provides x and y coordinates of a point on the polygon. So we indicate (n + 1) points because
first point coordinates should be equal to (n + 1)th for drawing a complete figure.
Example
// C Implementation for fillpoly()

#include <graphics.h>

// driver code

intmain(){

   // Here gm1 is Graphics mode which is a computer display mode that

   // produces image using pixels. DETECT is a macro defined in

   // "graphics.h" header file

   intgd1 = DETECT, gm1;

   // Different coordinates for polygon

   intarr1[] = {320, 150, 400, 250, 250, 350, 320, 150};

   // Here initgraph initializes the

   // graphics system by loading a

   // graphics driver from disk

   initgraph(&gd1, &gm1, "");

   // fillpoly function

   fillpoly(4, arr1);

   getch();

   // Here closegraph function closes the

   // graphics mode and deallocates

   // all memory allocated by

   // graphics system .

   closegraph();

   return0;
