Actually Larry's idea of using a rectangular box is a better idea. A box

costs less than half the cost of a single stroke of the paint brush. If

you use several brush strokes to cover the area the costs can add up

quickly with no visual benefit. It is also best to delete the line

outine of the box and leave just the fill to prevent the posssibility of

a flickering hit area bug that occurs once in a while.
