Polygon

A polygon is a closed plane shape compound of a specific number of lines. The process D2000 GrEditor allows you to create a polygon containing up to 30 sides (triacontagon - 30-sided polygon). When you reach the number of sides, the drawing will finish automatically.  The following figures show examples of polygons.

To create a polygon

1. In the Drawing toolbar, click the button Polygon.
2. Point the mouse cursor to the position of the polygon begin to point and click.
3. Point the mouse cursor to the position of the next point of the polygon and click.
4. To proceed with drawing repeat item 3.
5. To finish the polygon, double-click on the position of the endpoint of the polygon. The endpoint will be automatically joined with the beginning point of the polygon.

Tip: To create horizontal, and vertical lines or lines at an angle equal to multiple of 45° angle, hold down the Shift key when drawing.

Note: A polygon may contain up to 499 simple 3D lines (500 points). When you reach the number, creating the graphic object will finish automatically.

Polygon parameters

The polygon parameters are defined in the palette Object properties. The parameters are the same as the parameters of a rectangle.
