Creating a polygon
You can create a polygon by defining three or more connected points.
While you can create a triangle using the Polygon tool ( ), using the
Triangle tool ( ) reduces keystrokes. To construct a polygon:
1. From the Shapes menu, select the Polygon tool ( ).
2. On the work area, click once to establish the first point of the
polygon.
3. Move the cursor to the location for the second point and click again.
Notice that the side of the polygon is shown as a dotted line.
4. Move the cursor to the location of the next point.
As you move the cursor, the polygon’s sides display as dotted lines.
Continue to move the cursor and click to create as many sides as
needed.
