Text of this guide (for searching): Paint Tools: The Polygon Tool for Straight Edges and Sharp Vertices. Open a paint palette from your Navigator Bar.
Click the white tab on the lower right corner to open the clean edge tools.
There are five tools
in the set. The polygon
is fourth from the top. The polygon tool will draw a closed shape with as many edges and
vertices as you wish.
Drag the small circles and triangles; they are handles to change the shape. If the handles close, they won't come back for that drawing.
Click to open a new polygon tool if a different shape is needed. Click Keep to close the paints and use scripts.
