| Description | ||
|
The Points array of points defines a regular or irregular polygon shape. FillPolygon fills in the shape with the specified Brush.
Normally a polygon is deemed to be a shape with angles greater than 90 degrees (obtuse angles). However, a Microsoft polygon can have acute angles, and can overlap itself. The FillMode optional parameter allows you to define how the fill process handles such an overlapping :
Winding counts the number of lines crossed when radiating out from a point to determine if it is inside the shape. Alternate looks at curve intersections, and the directions each is drawn. | ||
