Polygon Tool

Draw regular polygons with any number of sides — triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and beyond.

How to draw a polygon

Select the Polygon tool. The context panel shows Sides (3-12), Stroke Width, and Fill controls.

Set the number of sides. 3 = triangle, 4 = diamond, 5 = pentagon, 6 = hexagon, and so on.

Choose your colours — stroke and optional fill colour.

Click and drag on the canvas. The polygon grows from the centre point outwards.

Release to place the polygon. Rotate it afterwards using the Select tool rotation handle.

Polygon features

Any side count

From 3-sided triangles to 12-sided dodecagons.

Centred drawing

Dragging grows from a centre point for precise placement.

Rotation

Use Select tool to rotate the polygon to any angle after placing.

Tips

Triangles

Set sides to 3. Hold Shift for an upright equilateral triangle.

Hexagonal patterns

6-sided hexagons tile perfectly for honeycomb and hex-grid designs.

Star shapes

Place two identical polygons at the same centre, one rotated 30°-45°, to create a star.
