I have made filled triangles in gpic by a simple kludge of automating the removal of one corner of a filled rectangle. This works straightforwardly for axis-aligned right triangles. Other triangles have to be partitioned into axis-aligned right triangles. The really unpleasant aspect of this trick is that one has to make an edit script (largely by cut-and-paste) to do the corner-removal, and this edit script has to be kept up in parallel with changes to the pictures. I'll be happy to send the details if you're interested. Doug McIlroy
