    Polygon Filling

    Methods
    Polygon filling algorithms are essential in computer graphics for rendering
    and shading two-dimensional shapes. These methods allow us to color or fill
    in the interior of a polygon, creating realistic and visually appealing images.
    Scanline Algorithm
    1 Scanline Iteration
    The algorithm processes each horizontal scanline within
    the polygon's bounds.

    2 Intersection Points
    For each scanline, it finds the intersection points with the
    polygon's edges.

    3 Pixel Filling
    Pixels between the intersection points are filled with the
    desired color.
    Flood Fill Algorithm
    Seed Pixel
    The algorithm starts with a seed pixel inside the polygon.

    Color Replacement
    The seed pixel is replaced with the fill color, and the
    algorithm recursively checks adjacent pixels.

    Boundary Check
    The process continues until the entire polygon is filled,
    ensuring that only pixels within the polygon's boundaries are
    colored.
    Boundary Fill Algorithm
