Polygons

The polygon object can create any shape without rounded edges through the use of the coordinate system. Like many other objects, polygons use a brush and pen.

The polygon can be edited in the properties window by editing the points:

PROPERTY REFERENCE

Points

This is where you enter in coordinates for the points on your polygon. These coordinates utilize the coordinate system. To enter points, click inside the Points box. To the right of the box you will see the box. Click on it to open up the point editor.

Here you can enter in your points and order them. The polygon will draw from the first point to the next on this list, then after the last point it will draw back to the first point again. Enter your coordinates into the X and Y boxes at the top, then click Add. Or you can click on Pick, which will allow you to click on the point you want with your mouse. To change a point you have entered, highlight it on the list and change the X and Y coordinates at the top. Then click Update. To remove a point, highlight it and then click Remove. You can also change the order of the points by selecting them on the list and clicking the Up or Down buttons.

NOTE: The polygon will always close itself by drawing from the end point (the last point on the list) back to the starting poing (the first point on the list). If you want a polygon to stay open you can use a path object.
