Polygon Class

Draws a polygon, which is a connected series of lines that form a closed shape.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Shapes
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class Polygon _
    Inherits Shape
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Polygon
C#
public sealed class Polygon : Shape
Visual C++
public ref class Polygon sealed : public Shape
JScript
public final class Polygon extends Shape
XAML Object Element Usage
<Polygon .../>

This object is similar to the Polyline object, except that this object must be a closed shape.

The following example shows how to create a Polygon element and set its properties by using code. For the complete sample, see WPF Shapes Gallery Sample.

Visual Basic
' Add a Polygon Element
Dim myPolygon As New Polygon()
myPolygon.Stroke = Brushes.Black
myPolygon.Fill = Brushes.LightSeaGreen
myPolygon.StrokeThickness = 2
myPolygon.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
myPolygon.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center
Dim Point1 As New System.Windows.Point(1, 50)
Dim Point2 As New System.Windows.Point(10, 80)
Dim Point3 As New System.Windows.Point(50, 50)
Dim myPointCollection As New PointCollection()
myPointCollection.Add(Point1)
myPointCollection.Add(Point2)
myPointCollection.Add(Point3)
myPolygon.Points = myPointCollection
myGrid.Children.Add(myPolygon)
Visual C++
//Add the Polygon Element
myPolygon = gcnew Polygon();
myPolygon->Stroke = Brushes::Black;
myPolygon->Fill = Brushes::LightSeaGreen;
myPolygon->StrokeThickness = 2;
myPolygon->HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment::Left;
myPolygon->VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment::Center;
Point Point1 = Point(1, 50);
Point Point2 = Point(10, 80);
Point Point3 = Point(50, 50);
PointCollection^ myPointCollection = gcnew PointCollection();
myPointCollection->Add(Point1);
myPointCollection->Add(Point2);
myPointCollection->Add(Point3);
myPolygon->Points = myPointCollection;
myGrid->Children->Add(myPolygon);
C#
//Add the Polygon Element
myPolygon = new Polygon();
myPolygon.Stroke = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Black;
myPolygon.Fill = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.LightSeaGreen;
myPolygon.StrokeThickness = 2;
myPolygon.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
myPolygon.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
System.Windows.Point Point1 = new System.Windows.Point(1, 50);
System.Windows.Point Point2 = new System.Windows.Point(10,80);
System.Windows.Point Point3 = new System.Windows.Point(50,50);
PointCollection myPointCollection = new PointCollection();
myPointCollection.Add(Point1);
myPointCollection.Add(Point2);
myPointCollection.Add(Point3);
myPolygon.Points = myPointCollection;
myGrid.Children.Add(myPolygon);

How to: Draw a Closed Shape by Using the Polygon Element This example shows how to draw a closed shape by using the Polygon element. To draw a closed shape, create a Polygon element and use its Points property to specify the vertices of a shape. A line is automatically drawn that connects the first and last points. Finally, specify a Fill, a Stroke, or both.
