New method DrawPolygon inherited bug from AppyBuilder

[Italo]

I remember mentioning in AppyBuilder the DrawPolygon method clears the canvas every time is executed. I don’t think this is how it should work.
It’s still doing the same. Can that be changed to work as the other drawing methods work?

Thanks for looking into that.

And in case anyone needs to use the regular polygons method without clearing the canvas, here’s my procedure that works almost the same as the added method (only thing missing is the corners radius):

Regular polygons procedure for canvas (can be adapted for maps)

A polygon is a closed area. It can be irregular, where the points are anywhere, or they can be regular, which means they are equiangular and equilateral like in this picture. [image] App Inventor and Kodular both has a method to draw irregular polygons, both in the canvas and in the maps. Using that method, this procedure will let you draw a REGULAR POLYGON almost the same way you use the circle method, by specifying the center and the radius. But you also need the number of sides, the starti…
