Hi JP,
Thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed the test files.

I now get all tests passing except for the ones related to negative images
and objects... there are still problems there to solve (working on it).  In
fact, it looks to me like we now can draw a few things properly that were
not drawn properly in 4.x!

Best,
Jon
