POLY (Draw a closed polygon)

The POLY command draws a closed polygon on the map. The polygon can be colour filled by changing the fill attribute to the colour desired. If polygon coordinates are not specified, the points in the current data buffer are used.

Command Syntax:

POLY refp,xoff,yoff,att,style,pitch

x,y

Command Parameters:

refp Reference point from which to refer the following offsets. The default is reference point 0.
xoff,yoff Point at which to start the line. The default is the current att position.
att Attribute to use.
style Line style
	1	solid (Default).
	2	long dashes.
	3	dotted.
	4	short dashes
	5	long/short/long dashes.

pitch	Patterned line pitch. The default is 1 cm.

Sub-Command Lines

x,y	Sub-command lines are used to provide subsequent vertices of the polygon. Each line may contain one x,y pair that defines the next vertex. The polygon should be less than 4000 points in length.

Example

MDFF M1

POLY 0,2500,2500

2500,5000

5000,5000

5000,2500

2500,2500

This will draw a square box of dimension 2500 ground units.
