I am wondering if there is code to select a region. Say you have a picture loaded, and now you want to select a certain region of the picture to color. Rather than drawing a box, and then clicking a color to fill it in with the color you selected, is there a free selection tool so that rather than a box it could be any shape?

Easier way to see it. You download a picture of a bunny, and you want to select only its ears to color red, leaving the rest of the bunny white. So as a user, you would have to draw the area around the ears, and then color it in. Is this possible?
