polySides

Type

property

Summary

Specifies how many sides a regular polygon has.

Syntax

set the polySides [of <graphic>] to <numberOfSides>

Description

Use the polySides property to change the appearance of polygons.

The polySides property affects only graphics whose style property is set to regular.

The global setting of the polySides property controls the appearance of polygons drawn with the paint tools. Once a paint polygon is drawn, its appearance can no longer be changed by changing the global polySides property.

Examples

set the polySides to 3 -- to make triangles

set the polySides of graphic "Hex" to 6 -- hexagon
