You know how in MacPaint and similar paint programs you can click on a
pixel and fill the surrounding region with paint?  

I need to do this -- i.e., given a graphics window whose contents I
know nothing about, and a pixel, flood the region around that pixel
with paint.  B/W is ok, tho' color would be useful.

I don't suppose there is a primitive quickdraw command for this? :-) 
Suggestions?

Thanks for your kind attention.
