That would present a problem using that handler :-)

The example I used above was larger.  I was testing alternating  
colors in fields after reading about the backgroundPattern limits  
being removed.  The project I was testing that tiling handler on was  
for a video timeline and uses a small image for tick marks.  I need a  
to repeat a tick marks image (the vertical lines appearing above a  
timeline) across a timeline of a width determined at runtime.  The  
handler I posted worked well for that but it seems backgroundPattern  
will do the job nicely and is faster.
