Drawing Polygons

To draw a polygon, activate the polygon tool and click on the document at the place you'd like the polygon to start. Each time you click on the document, you will add another vertex to the polygon. To finish creating a polygon, either click on the first vertex or double-click to place a final vertex. Once you've selected a polygon in the document (after drawing it, or by using the selection tools), you can use the Info window to change its style, orientation, and magnet configuration. Move a midpoint to reshape the polygon. Double-click to add a new vertex. Hitting Backspace or Delete while creating a polygon will remove the last point that added. Hitting ESC while creating a polygon cancels the polygon. Double-click on an existing polygon border to add another vertex.
