Polygon

Once you have selected the polygon option, you will be able to draw polygons until you either dismiss the cursor from drawing back to normal canvas cursor operation or select another draw option.

The polygon will be drawn with the Line Type, Line Width, Patterns, and Color Table selections that are active in the Attributes Toolbar. These can be changed before or after drawing the polygon.

For more information on the appearance, see Formatting Tools.
