A.4.5.28 Poly4 Form

The Poly4 () form is available from the quad position layer control, and draws a quadrilateral defined by the coordinates of its vertices supplied as 4 separate positions. Various options for how it is drawn, such as filled or outlined, are available.

Polygon Mode

Defines how the polygon is drawn. Options are

• outline: draws a line round the outside of the polygon
• fill: fills the interior of the polygon
• cross: draws a line round the outside of the polygon and lines between all the vertices

Fast

Determines whether speed is favoured over accuracy when drawing polygons. In some cases unchecking this will give visually better results, and in some cases checking it will speed up plotting. In other cases, the setting will make no difference to either. It may be necessary to unset it when filling polygons that may be re-entrant.
