The Polygon Tool enables you to create useful multi-sided geometric shapes.
Default shape and handle position (in red) before customisation.
Customisation
The Polygon Tool has several options on the shape and on the context toolbar to enable the number of sides, and the side curvature to be controlled.
Two possible outcomes when the options are customised.
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
Sides—sets the number of sides (and angles) of the polygon.
Curve—sets the convex or concave nature of the sides of the polygon. The percentage curve available is determined by the number of sides. For straight sides, set to 0%.
Smooth points—applies smoothing to the points of the polygon, resulting in the appearance of a continuous curve. This only applies when the curve of sides is greater than 0%.
To Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
