PAINT

The PAINT command is used in high resolution graphics modes, to fill a shape with a specified colour.

The x,y are the coordinates of the point where the painting is to start. c is the colour code of the colours to be used to paint. It must be between 0 and COLOR COUNT and be one of the available colour set for the working mode. If omitted, the current foreground colour is used.

The b parameter is the colour code of the border at which painting is to stop. It must also be between 0 and 8, the painting will continue over a border of any other colour. If omitted, the current foreground colour is used.

There is also an alternative syntax for PAINT, that is used to fill enclosed areas in the color of the specified color source '<fq>' (see HIRES), starting from the starting point x, y. PAINT does nothing if the selected starting point already has the desired color.
