How to fill solid color in a shape?

[pavitrashah]

Hello,

I am trying to convert dxf files into png images.
The files will only have a single shape in them and I want to be able to fill the shape with solid color.

The code I've tried to achive this.

class MyFrontend(Frontend):
    def override_properties(self, entity: DXFGraphic, properties: Properties) -> None:
        properties.color = '#FF0000'
        properties.filling = 'SOLID'

The result I'm having with this code is like this:

Only certain DXF entities support filling: SOLID, TRACE and HATCH.

A tutorial how to create HATCH entities can be found here.

In the tutorial it is showing how to create a new shape with hatch.

But I'm getting the shapes already made in my case in dxf file and it can be any thing. A eclipse or even a christmas tree. So how can I convert them to have them filled with hatch property?

Ezdxf does not provide such functionality, you need a proper CAD application for that.

Any suggestions on which application or library might help to achieve this?
Or if using a different backend can help to fill solid color in the shape.
