I wanted to draw slightly more complex graphics, so I couldn't use simple graphics tools and had to use line segments to draw little by little. But after drawing, I found that my image could not be filled because it was not closed. Please tell me how I can ensure that the graph drawn with line segments is closed so that it can be filled. I use a simple picture in my picture as an example, and you can see that it cannot be filled

    Hi @海粟 吴

    The shape fill does not work with line created shape, it is not a fillable shape even there is indeed no gap.

    I suggest you use the Freeform shape instead. It will let you draw a shape consisting of connected lines that can be filled.
