I've drawn a dartboard type grahpic using circle shapes and straight lines. I need to colour each resulting cell in the dartboard a different colour, somthing that I could use a flood fill or paint bucket type tool in graphic programs like the Gimp or Photoshop.
I think you need to change the way you think about it.
In a bitmap editor, you create borders and then fill the interiors.
In a vector editor, you create _objects_. Each object has a border (stroke) and a fill of its own. The fill and stroke are both properties of the object.
For this specific graphic, start by drawing concentric circles with fill. Then add the radii (straight line objects). Then cut the circles by the radii (Path > Divide). This will give you the separate sector objects to which you can apply different fill colors and stroke style.
Or you can create the secors directly from circles, without cutting, by dragging the handles. See the Shapes tutorial for details.
