Hi,

In cairo, filling uses a *pattern* as a source. Look at the different 
pattern types, in particular gradient and mesh patterns:

http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html

Of course, these can not encode any arbitrary function of (x, y) to 
color. Are you looking for something more specific?

Cheers,
