If you mean what others have meant, you can't exactly do this. There is no request that will both fill an object and outline it. You'll have to do this in two separate requests (e.g. use draw-rectangle with fill-p both NIL and non-NIL). This may not get you the semantics you want, since the outline will overlap the fill (see the semantics of lines vs filling).
