Polygon Tool

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.

The following settings can be adjusted using a vertical tool slider:

Width—controls the width of the line using a vertical slider next to the tool's location. Slide up or down to set the width.

The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:

Keep selected—when enabled (default), the new shape layer will be selected on creation. When disabled, the new object is deselected which prevents it from adopting the next object’s stroke/fill properties.
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%.
Convert to Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
