Thanks for the reply Yann. I had figured my math was wrong, but it seemed pretty basic to me. You did give me an alternative, which is going to be much easier then what I had been trying to do.
My thinking now is that I can draw three solid rects, one that will be the border, another rect for the inside background color, and a third rect for the percent bar. This is going to be a much easier approach and one that I feel will not break like the previous one. Thanks for the idea Yann.
