2.3.6.4 Draw Filled Polygon
Before the Polygon is started, the fill color can be set.
Filled Polygons are created by either a series for Left-Click
s or Left+Drag
s, and a new "node" is placed for each. When using Left-drag
, the node will be positioned when you release the button.
-
The fill color can be adjusted using the color control at the bottom of the window
-
If MagneticSnap (Section 2.12.1) is enabled, An anchor point will be shown on nearby draw objects that the next point will be snapped to unless
Alt
is held.
-
If it is disabled, the snap will only occur if Alt is held.
-
If
Ctrl
is held down when a new point is placed, it will snap the relative angle of the new side to a multiple of 90 degrees from the previous side.
On the first polygon side this will be at a multiple of 90 degrees to the axes. The line from the previous point will be highlighted in Blue.
-
A special blue square anchor will show when the cursor is in a position such that it is 90 degrees away from both the last point and the first point of the Polygon.
-
The last polygon segment dimensions can be altered using the text boxes that appear showing the segment length and the relative angle to the previous segment.
-
The polygon is closed if the next node is place over the start of the polygon
-
The Filled Polygon is ended using
Enter
or Space
. The polygon will be auto-closed.
