===Paints===
A ''paint'' generates the [[color]]s to be used for each pixel of the fill operation.  The simplest paint is '''{{Javadoc:SE|package=java.awt|java/awt|Color|module=java.desktop}}''', which generates the same color for all pixels.  More complicated paints may produce gradients, [[image]]s, or indeed any combination of colors.  Filling a circular shape using the color yellow results in a solid yellow circle, while filling the same circular shape using a paint that generates an image produces a circular cutout of the image.
