Polygon info  Overview  Group

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

Identifies the device context.

lpPoints

Points 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. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

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.
