Shape
Remarks
To form a closed polygon, assign the same coordinates to the first and last vertices in the polyline drawing.
Example
This example adds a triangle to myDocument. Because the first and last points have the same coordinates, the polygon is closed and filled. The color of the triangle's interior will be the same as the default shape's fill color.
Dim triArray(1 To 4, 1 To 2) As Single

triArray(1, 2) = 100
triArray(2, 1) = 100

triArray(3, 1) = 150
triArray(3, 2) = 50
triArray(4, 1) = 25 ' Last point has same coordinates as first
triArray(4, 2) = 100
