;p
It provides an introduction with an example of the capabilities then proceeds to explain the various ways of coding in shapes (including rectangles and images).

You're clearly not actually reading the documentation and just trying to track down a snippet of code you can copy+paste which is against everything the documentation tries to achieve (despite the fact that there pretty much is a snippet of code with almost exactly what you're trying to achieve). The documentation is there to teach you methods, not to hand-feed you answers.
code:
<Region>
    <ContactList>
        <Image Integration="add">
            <Source>
                <File>MyImage.png</File>
            </Source>
            <Position>
                <Left>0</Left>
                <Top>0</Top>
            </Position>
        </Image>
    <ContactList>
<Region>
It's not that we don't want to help you, we (or I) would much prefer you to learn how to do things yourself through research and trial & error, which is exactly how skinning works.
