Draws a polygon in an Image variable.
Linux Caution: In Linux, this function requires a specific configuration. For more details, see The drawings.
Example
MonImage is Image = "Test.gif"
// Dessin d'un polygone à 4 côtés dont le 
// fond est jaune clair et le bord bleu clair
MonImage.DrawPolygon(4, 10, 20, 20, 50, 40, 60, 50, 10, LightYellow, LightBlue)
IMG_MonDessin = MonImage
Syntax

Building a polygon point by point Hide the details

<Image variable>.DrawPolygon(<Number of sides> , <X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <X3> , <Y3> [... [, <Xn> , <Yn>]]] [, <Background color> [, <Side color>]])
<Image variable>: Image variable
Name of the Image variable to be used.
<Number of sides>: Integer
Number of sides in the polygon (up to 23 sides). This parameter defines the number of <X>, <Y> pairs to specify in the function.
<X1>: Integer
X-coordinate of first point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y1>: Integer
Y-coordinate of first point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<X2>: Integer
X-coordinate of second point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y2>: Integer
Y-coordinate of second point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<X3>: Integer
X-coordinate of 3rd point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y3>: Integer
Y-coordinate of 3rd point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Xn>: Optional integer
X-coordinate of nth point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Yn>: Optional integer
Y-coordinate of nth point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Polygon background color. This color can correspond to:
If this parameter is not specified, the background color:
<Side color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Color of polygon sides. This color can correspond to:
If this parameter is not specified, the line color:

Building a polygon via an array of X and Y-coordinates Hide the details

<Image variable>.DrawPolygon(<Array of coordinates> [, <Background color> [, <Side color>]])
<Image variable>: Image variable
Name of the Image variable to be used.
<Array of coordinates>: Array of integers or array of points
  • WLanguage array of integers containing the coordinates of polygon points. The even indexes represent the X-coordinates while the odd indexes represent the Y-coordinates of the points. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
  • WEBDEV - Server code WLanguage array of Point variables containing the coordinates of the polygon points. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Polygon background color. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the background color:
<Side color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Color of polygon sides. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the line color:

Building a polygon from a variable of type Polygon Hide the details

<Image variable>.DrawPolygon(<Polygon> [, <Background color> [, <Side color>]])
<Image variable>: Image variable
Name of the Image variable to be used.
<Polygon>: Polygon variable
Name of the Polygon variable that describes the different points of the polygon.
<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Polygon background color. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the background color:
<Side color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Color of polygon sides. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the line color:
Remarks

Coordinates

Drawing a polygon:
MonImage.DessinePolygone(5, 80, 10, 10, 150, 100, 200, 160, 80, 140, 40)
Drawing a polygon
Coordinates are specified with respect to the upper-left corner of the image (coordinates: (0.0)).
Important It is not necessary to close the polygon (the coordinates of the last point do not have to be equal to the coordinates of the first point). The polygon is automatically "closed".
Limits A polygon can have a maximum of 100,000 points in WINDEV, WEBDEV and Java, and 1,000 points in Windows CE.

Drawing with opacity or anti-aliasing

In the case of drawing with opacity (function <Image variable>.StartDrawing with constant dWithOpacity) or anti-aliasing (function <Image variable>.ChangeMode with constant drawingAntiAliasing), the outline is drawn over the polygon interior: the line is therefore partly combined with the polygon interior. If the line is very thick, it will be displayed in two colors.
