commit 5d32d39a02e5483c3c85c2ff5c3f7ea539e0d444
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    doc/pic.ms: Fix erroneous description of "solid".

    * doc/pic.ms (Basic PIC Concepts, Decorating Objects/Filled Objects, PIC
      Reference/Semi-Formal Grammar): Fix error; the keyword "solid" set a
      line style, not a fill for a closed figure.  Thanks to Dave Kemper and
      Wim Stockman for reporting and researching this issue.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?60470>.

doc/pic.ms says, "The closed-object modifier \fBsolid\fP is equivalent to \fBfill\fP with the darkest fill value."  This is in the "Filled Objects" section (6.9) of the manual.

As Wim Stockman explains in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2021-06/msg00010.html, "solid" is a border style, not a filling.  The examples upthread confirm that it does not fill the object.
