Polygon The Polygon function draws a polygon consisting of two or more vertices connected by straight lines. The polygon is outlined by using the current pen and filled by using the current brush and polygon fill mode.
BOOL Polygon( HDC hdc, // handle to device context CONST POINT *lpPoints, // pointer to polygon's vertices int nCount // count of polygon's vertices );
Parameters hdc Handle to the device context. lpPoints Pointer to an array of POINT structures that specify the vertices of the polygon. nCount Specifies the number of vertices in the array. This value must be greater than or equal to 2. Return Values If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Windows NT: To get extended error information, callGetLastError.
Remarks The polygon is closed automatically by drawing a line from the last vertex to the first.
The current position is neither used nor updated by the Polygon function.
Windows CE: Windows CE version 1.0 supports only convex polygons.
This function is the same in Windows CE version 2.0 as it is in Windows desktop platforms.
QuickInfo Windows NT: Requires version 3.1 or later. Windows: Requires Windows 95 or later. Windows CE: Requires version 1.0 or later. Header: Declared in wingdi.h. Import Library: Use gdi32.lib.
