SUBJECT: opaque border around transparent rectangle

 

sorry if this is the wrong forum, but i can't locate an RMagick forum. I am trying to accomplish something simple which is turning out to be a disaster.

I simply want to take a transparent image and put a non-transparent border around it. I've tried the border method (the center comes out opaque black), I've tried the matte_flood_fill method (the entire image is transparent). Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this? Basically, I want a framed transparent rectangle.

Here's what I've tried-

hole = Magick::Image.new(95,95) do
{
self.background_color = Magick::Pixel.new(255, 255, 255, 255)
}

result = hole.border(5,5,"red")

This results in a black image with a red border.

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Kevin
