### fill_the_clip_rectangles

Fills the area by filling the clip rectangles.

This code improves the speed of filling large simple areas.

Six clip rectangles was chosen for plotters because it included wide line boxes which produce four clip rectangles. More complex areas are not filled on plotters because filling an area with boxes does not optimize pen up (PU ) commands on normal plotters.

On HPGL2 devices, complex areas are filled entirely with this method.
