I am not sure how to proceed in filling the interior of a randomly generated (via a random decoration) path.
I began with code given in the answer to this question and worked on it since the basic purpose was related.
The fill and the drawn line are not quite the same, because there is a random decoration applied to each.
QUESTION)
How do I apply the fill to the interior bounded by the drawn line?
(Also, by the way, in this case, how do I make the decoration arrows larger? Can I apply decoration arrows also the drawn path without breaking the other decoration?)
