Lonkero, I think I provided the best overall solution. Even adding four strokes to silence the open and close commands, my entry has a better score. I think that the nesting of UDFs is permissable since each UDF does what it is suppose to do.
I initially had a fixed 700x700 form that would display the test suite. Jens did not like that since it prohibits the functioning of the code with larger images. You relied on the default form size like Jack did . I opt'ed to reduce my score by doing the same. Since this has the same issue as my fix form we all will need to add variable sizing to each image. I had the code in my post but had it commented out. To meet Jens work with any size requirements, we all need to add code. Both your code and mine will require the addition of this line "$a.ClientSize = $[2],$[3]" an addition of 23 strokes to each of our scores.
But I have to say congrats on finding all those unecessary quotes in my code. I don't remember seeing that technique applied previously in other Golf outings and would not have thought to remove them and test. You are the optimum optimizer.
