Thierry, Scott... Thank you both. Clear and concise. Since I need the black border, I will use Thiery's custom routine (added bonus points for arbitrary border color!), but for a generic solution for any arbitrary sized image where fill-only is required, Scott's is faster as it has no internal

Image fill question

I have a 10px x 10px image. There is a 1px black border with a colour fill. How do I set the colour fill of the image using an arbitrary RGB value? It needs to be a mathematical approach setting the pixel data directly (taking and applying a screen shot of a graphic is going to be too slow).
