- The upper left half of the Polygon's icon selects the Unfilled option which
- only draws an outlined polygon using the current brush and the current
- settings of the Spacing requester (which is displayed by clicking in this
- area with the Right Mouse button; see Line lesson). The bottom right half
- selects the Filled option which uses the current settings of the Fill Type
- requester (which is displayed by clicking in this area with the Right Mouse
- button; see Fill lesson).

- If you hold down the SHIFT key while painting with this tool, movement will
- be constrained (locked) horizontally or vertically, depending on the
- direction the mouse is moved after initially pressing SHIFT.
-
- Pressing the CTRL key while painting with this tool will leave "traces".
-
- Pressing "i" while selecting the Filled Polygon tool -- or pressing SHIFT,
- followed by i, followed by w -- allows you to create filled polygon shapes
- that become outlined using the settings of the Spacing requester.
