Ok, I'll try my best. Guess this has to be done via 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it. I will think about the snippet and try my best. 
Does anybody know how to fill background with colour? I tried the box,

Thank you, I will have a look. Thought about these boxes, but well, it 
can be also other objects...
