Such code can be considered broken, deserves an fix anyhow.

I'd suggest that you use the TCanvas conventions, before you run into 
well known pitfalls.

E.g. an empty rectangle should be (x,y, x,y), while a single pixel 
should be (x,y, x+1,y+1). The Width is Right-Left, not Right-Left+1. 
Otherwise combining regions, tiling (tables...), rotating etc. will be 
overly complicated and consequently almost buggy.
