[XeTeX] placing and colouring a graphic

[William Adams]

Okay, I've spent a day of my life, banging my head against a wall,  
trying to script changing the fill colour of a graphic in InDesign and  
I'm giving up on that, and hoping that I can just pre-process the  
graphics in TeX.

My hope was that just setting the colour and placing the 1-bit graphic  
would be sufficient, but that fails w/ the error:

So I'm wondering if it's even possible to place a 1-bit graphic in  
xetex using xdv2pdf and Apple's pdf rendering technology.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to do this?
