Description

The polf subroutine draws filled polygons using the current area attributes: pattern, color, and writemask. Polygons are represented as arrays of points. The first and last points automatically connect to close a polygon. After the polygon is filled, the current graphics position is set to the first point in the array.

Polygons in 2-D are drawn with z = 0.

The six different forms for the polf subroutine are as follows:

The syntax for each of the subroutine forms is the same except for the first argument. They differ only in that polf expects real coordinates, polfi expects integer coordinates, and polfs expects short integer coordinates. In addition, the polf2 routines assume a 2-D point instead of a 3-D point.

There can be no more than 256 vertices in a polygon. In addition, the polf subroutine cannot correctly draw polygons that intersect themselves.

Parameters

Example

The example C language program tpbig.c uses the polf2i subroutine to draw an ice cream cone.
