15.7 Drawing Polygons and Polylines
Polygons are closed multisided shapes composed of straight-line segments. Polylines are sequences of connected points. Figure 15.26 discusses methods for drawing polygons and polylines. Some methods require a Polygon object (package java.awt). Class Polygon’s constructors are also described in Fig. 15.26. The application of Figs. 15.27–15.28 draws polygons and polylines.
