PM1/PM2, Polygon Mode

The Polygon Group

 

 

 

 

 

 

The polygon buffer stores the lines (vectors) that define your polygon.

 

 

These vectors are accessed later when you exit polygon mode and fill

 

 

and/or edge the polygon.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

While in polygon mode, the CI command is interpreted differently

 

 

than other graphics commands. Refer to “Drawing Circles in Polygon

 

 

Mode,” earlier in this chapter for more details.

 

 

 

 

When you define a polygon, the pen location before the PM0 command is the first point (vertex) of the polygon, and the first point stored in the polygon buffer. For example, if you execute the
