Basic Graphics > Polygon

A polygon graphic is a sequence of points connected by line segments. When no line segments defined by the points intersect then the graphic is a polygon. If they intersect then the graphic is more general geometrically speaking. The figure below shows some examples of a polygon.

Standard Operations

To create a polygon bring forward the Graphic Selector, click the polygon factory cell and then mouse down on a Graphic View and drag the cursor to another point. The initial and final cursor locations define the boundary of a predefined polygon.

Resizing and rotating the polygon transforms all points simultaneously. For more information see Standard Editing.

One thing you will probably want to do with a polygon is modify its points. You can do that via the main or parser Inspector Editor or by editing it directly with the mouse controls.
