How to Draw Opaque Objects in MS Paint
With MS Paint, the user has the option to draw shapes like circles and rectangles in multiple styles: filled, non-filled, or bordered. With the filled or opaque style, the shape will paint over whatever is underneath it, and the result will be a solid block of color across the page.
