Can you describe your needs to me in detail? I can recommend some options to you based on your needs.
For example, you want to draw a box in a specific area and fill it with images

I used an older Stone display in a product.  The software would issue commands to draw circles and fill the circles in with a specific color to indicate the status of different alarms.

Can I use the image widget  and change the image used at runtime?  If so, I can probably use this.

Yes, image widgets are ideal for indicating the status of signals. This is even better than drawing primitive circles – you can draw sketchy or realistic images of indicators. You can change the picture of the image widget at any time, as well as hide or show it again.
In my project, this is exactly how I do the indication of the status of sensors and actuators. For example, for a solenoid valve, I have 4 possible display states: inactive, off, on, and alarm. For a motorized 3-position ball valve, there are even more states: inactive, each of the 3 possible end positions, intermediate position and alarm. All this is perfectly implemented by the image widget 🙂
