The Polygon Layer represents a closed geometric shape defined by a set number of sides. It is a flexible visual Layer used for drawing regular polygons such as triangles, pentagons, hexagons, or more complex multi-sided shapes.
This Layer can be created with the “Draw Polygon” tool in the Tool Select Toolbar.
Properties #
This Layer supports all of the universal Layer properties along with some of its own.
Sides #
Determines the number of edges (and corresponding vertices) the polygon will have.
- 3 = Triangle (default)
- 4 = Square / Rectangle
- 5 = Pentagon
- 6 = Hexagon
- And so on…
Higher numbers produce polygons that approximate a circle.
The polygon is always centered in its bounding box and scales proportionally with its Width and Height.
Fill #
This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.
The Fill brush determines how the inside of the shape is rendered.
Stroke #
This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.
Defines the outline color or style of the polygon, drawing around the polygon’s border.
Stroke Thickness
Controls the width of the line in the project’s current base units.
Opacity Mask #
This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.
Applies a mask effect over the polygon’s rendered content to control how it blends or fades. This can be used to create gradient transparency, fade effects, or highlight shapes.
The opacity mask affects both Fill and Stroke uniformly, without changing geometry.
