About Polygon Layer

Polygon Layers are made by the Polygon Tool. Their use is deprecated, with Region Layers being the preferred layer type.

Note that you can make regular polygons with even numbers of sides using the Star Layer.

Parameters of the Polygon Layers

The parameters of the Polygon layers are:

Name Value Type
Type real icon.png Z Depth 0.000000 real
Type real icon.png Amount 1.000000 real
Type integer icon.png Blend Method Composite integer
Type color icon.png Color
 
 color
Type vector icon.png Origin 0.000000u,0.000000u vector
Type bool icon.png Invert
 
 bool
Type bool icon.png Antialiasing
 
 bool
Type real icon.png Feather 0.000000u real
Type integer icon.png Type of Feather Fast Gaussian Blur integer
Type integer icon.png Winding Style Non Zero integer
Type list icon.png Vector List List list (Dynamic)

Examples

Here are some example polygons (in case you forgot what they look like):

Note that the edges can cross each other. When they do, the Winding Style Parameter comes into play.
