Remarks

This method is called to supply an appropriate GDI+ Brush object corresponding to the properties of a PaintElement instance.

When the shape of the area that requires filling is not rectangular, use the path version of this method that for greater reliability in tiling and scaling resulting textures, gradients and/or hatches.
