[Hi there!]

I am looking for information on simple paint algorithms, i.e., those
that start at a certain coordinate, and fill in with a certain colour
until a pre-defined border colour is encountered.  Something similar
to the standard Microsoft-Basic Paint command:

PAINT(StartX, StartY, PaintColour, BorderColour)

is preferred.  If there is a trade-off between minimizing speed and
minimizing stack (memory) usage, I'll take minimized speed as memory
is more valuable than time (in my case anyway).  The simpler the
algorithm the better, nothing fancy is required.

Please e-mail the information, algorithms, references, etc to me
as I do not regularly read this group.  Thanks in advance.
