Why are there no surface elements (or filled polygonal elements)?

There is polygon tool and hatch. Everything more is a matter of libraries. You can ask in the forum if anybody has created such a library and is willing to share. Or you can create your own, matching exactly your requirements.

I think gchling may be speaking of shapes filled with a bitmap. This feature indeed does not exist. It's a feature common in 3d apps for surface rendering, but some may find it useful for 2d also.

I think qpainter does support this feature. We may implement it in 2.2.2, do solid fill could be textured as well, instead of by solid colors
