Polygon Object
Draws a polygon, which is a connected series of lines that form a closed shape.

Properties
Canvas.Left, Canvas.Top, Canvas.ZIndex, Clip, Cursor, Fill, FillRule, Height, Name, Opacity, OpacityMask, Points, RenderTransform, RenderTransformOrigin, Resources, Stretch, Stroke, StrokeDashArray, StrokeDashCap, StrokeDashOffset, StrokeEndLineCap, StrokeLineJoin, StrokeMiterLimit, StrokeStartLineCap, StrokeThickness, Tag, Triggers, Width
Methods
AddEventListener, CaptureMouse, Equals, FindName, GetHost, GetParent, GetValue, ReleaseMouseCapture, RemoveEventListener, SetValue
Events
Loaded, MouseEnter, MouseLeave, MouseLeftButtonDown, MouseLeftButtonUp, MouseMove
Remarks
The simplest true polygon is a triangle, in which case the Points property will have three entries. A Polygon with two points in Points will still render so long as it has a nonzero StrokeThickness value and a nonnull Stroke value, but that same result could be accomplished with Line. A Polygon with only one point will not render.
Examples
The following example shows how to use a Polygon to create a triangle.

<Canvas

<!-- This polygon shape uses pre-defined color values for its Stroke and
Fill properties.
The SolidColorBrush's Opacity property affects the fill color in
this case by making it slightly transparent (opacity of 0.4) so
that it blends with any underlying color. -->
<Polygon
Points="300,200 400,125 400,275 300,200"
Stroke="Purple"
StrokeThickness="2">
<Polygon.Fill>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Blue" Opacity="0.4"/>
</Polygon.Fill>
</Polygon>
