 Note: While boxes are hollow, lines can be understood as filled-in boxes.
Polygons
Polygons are created by defining the positions of the corners, specifying a number of data points
that represent the vertices of the object, which can range from a simple line (two points), or a
triangle (three points), to any free-form outline. Polygons may be filled with a variety of
different patterns. All row/column specifiers are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10
depending on the printer mode, (see m).
Record structure for a polygon (spaces added for readability):
1 X 11 ppp rrrr cccc P ppp bbbb rrrr cccc rrrr cccc …

P Polygon ID (Fixed Value) Termination character
Table 8-13: Polygon Record Structure
 Note: The points must be specified in the order to be drawn; the last point specified is automatically
connected to the first point to close the polygon. If only two points are specified, a single line
will be drawn. See Label Formatting Command A.
