Open Gimp and go to ->Xtns -> Procedure Browser.  In the search box
type 'bucket'.  3 items appear. Highlight 'gimp-edit-bucket-fill' and
you'll get a list of parameters and what they mean.  Also, you may want to
clcik on 'gimp-edit-bucket-fill-full'.  Both items have a section
titled 'Additional Information' which helps to explain the general usage
of
the plug-in.

Hope this helps.
