@Hairy I have changed the image to jpg format it was png initially. I don't have much information about how the image was created :( . Any solution !! – Kitex Oct 11 '11 at 9:52

I think the problem is that your polyline consists of several segments and that they are not snapped closely together – Peter Horsbøll Møller Oct 11 '11 at 11:18

Disaggregate the original multipart polyline (Objects > Disaggregate), then examine each constituent polyline and ensure that the ends are snapped to the adjacent line section so that there aren't any gaps. Finally recombine the polyline parts (Objects > Combine) and convert the result to a region.
