Hi Jean,

One way is to create your images in different colors and assign each of them
to different shapes. Then use setsh (setshape) to make the change.

Another way is to use a hidden turtle to draw the polygons, then change the
turtle color with setc, and redraw them right over the old ones with the new
color.

Good luck, Jeff
