fillRule - An useful vector graphic property

[form]

Just a tip, in case its useful... You can just use a comma instead of CR
when populating the points. They get turned back into CRs internally, but it
makes it easier to hand-jam values in the code to use "1,1,20,20,100,100"
instead of "1,1"&cr&"20,20"&cr&"100,100"
