PS_shfill — Draws a shading

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_shfill(PSDoc *psdoc, int shading)

Draws the shading whose id is passed in parameter shading. The name of the function is somewhat misleading. It does not fill an area like PS_fill(3) but simply draws the shading without any bounding box. If you want to restrict the schading to a certain area, then you will have to call PS_clip(3) before.

Using PS_shfill(3) is often easier than creating a shading pattern with PS_shading_pattern(3)and using it for filling.

PS_shading(3), PS_shading_pattern(3), PS_clip(3)
