Is support for this planned for SFML 2?

Care to expand on that? Why not? We're provided functions to draw basic shapes yet not for flood filling?

Because basic shapes are usefull for everyone, but flood filling will enjoy only a bunch of users like you.

Also, flood filling isn't that hard to implement yourself. You got the tools to do it. (render image, shaders or simple image traitment)

Flood filling and shapes are two totally different things. A shape is a geometric primitive that can be drawn, while flood filling is an off-screen image algorithm.

SFML doesn't provide any image algorithm, instead it provides low-level access to the pixels so that you can implement them easily.
