| Greetings:
| 
| I earlier posed a question about white outlines after applying 
| floodfill.  It was suggested I apply the antialias or fuzz commands.  
| However, I've experimented with both with no success.  As my gifs are 
| quite simple I'm wondering if the referenced gifs will better explain 
| the problem.
| 
| 
| In the first gif I've drawn circles with red fill connected by red lines:

| The second gif shows the result of applying floodfill and the problem.  
| Although floodfill mostly works, I have a white outline around all 
| circles and the outline of the form.  Of the two, the white outline 
| around the circles are the most troublesome.

That is a problem.  The circles are drawn using anti-aliasing,
generating some mixed red-white pixels,  these is want is showing up.

The better method will be to draw the outline you want, as a filled
polygon shape, rather than trying to floodfill it.
The circles can then be draw over this shape.

In other words, don't use flood fill, but draw a filled shape.
