The form background is available to a library by the form image property - whether that image also contains the merged forelayer I don't know. I'd draw on a bitmap from the imagelib library displayed in an image control using only setpixel and getpixel. That gives you a chance to later do the same things with the same logic but as low level pixel work in a library.


P.S. Don't think that I will necessarily write a library for you. As I said above I don't enjoy graphics work and have other things I am doing.
Remember this??
And yet you seem to have become somewhat of an artist

I hope that one day I have the abillity you've got to write whatever code takes your fancy
