Open Polygon object

On the Graphics tab, in the Shapes group, click Open Polygon to draw an open polygon with a border in the specified foreground color.

To draw an open polygon in the drawing area:
  1. Click the left mouse button to set the starting point of the polygon.
  2. Move the cursor to a new location and click again to place the second vertex.
  3. Repeat this process until you create the desired polygon shape.
  4. Double-click to stop drawing the polygon.

    To change the shape of a polygon after you’ve drawn it, select it and drag any of its points.

    Tip: If a polygon’s individual points are not draggable, they may be grouped. To ungroup the points, right-click on the polygon and choose Ungroup from the shortcut menu.
    To view the object properties, double-click on the polygon object and the Object Properties dialog is displays as follows.

Use the Object Properties dialog to specify the following parameters for the polygon:
  • Line: Specify a border line style by clicking the No Line, Solid Line, or Dashed Line button.

  • Weight: Specify the borderline width (in pixels) by typing a number representing the line width into the text box.
    Note: Dashed lines/borders of weight greater than 1 are not supported in projects running on Windows Embedded.
