FILL	Draw filled 2-D polygons.
 	FILL(X,Y,C) fills the 2-D polygon defined by vectors X and Y
	with the color specified by C.  The vertices of the polygon
	are specified by pairs of components of X and Y.  If necessary,
	the polygon is closed by connecting the last vertex to the first.

	If C is a single character string chosen from the list 'r','g','b',
	'c','m','y','w','k', or an RGB row vector triple, [r g b], the
	polygon is filled with the constant specified color.

	If C is a vector the same length as X and Y, its elements are
	scaled by CAXIS and used as indices into the current COLORMAP to
	specify colors at the vertices; the color within the polygon is
	obtained by bilinear interpolation in the vertex colors.

	If X and Y are matrices the same size, one polygon per column
	is drawn. In this case, C is a row vector for "flat" polygon
	colors, and C is a matrix for "interpolated" polygon colors. 

	If either of X or Y is a matrix, and the other is a column vector
	with the same number of rows, the column vector argument is
	replicated to produce a matrix of the required size.

  	FILL(X1,Y1,C1,X2,Y2,C2,...) is another way of specifying
	multiple filled areas.

	FILL sets the PATCH object FaceColor property to 'flat', 'interp',
	or a colorspec depending upon the value of the C matrix.

	FILL returns a column vector of handles to PATCH objects, one handle
	per patch. The X,Y,C triples can be followed by parameter/value pairs 
	to specify additional properties of the patches. FILL does not respond 
	to the NextPlot axis property.
