PReversePolyVertices

Reverse the order of vertices of selected polygons.

This command is new in PageMaker 6.5


Command constructor

PReversePolyVertices();

If a polygon's vertices order was P1, P2, ..., Pn, after this command, the vertices order will become Pn, Pn-1, ..., P2, P1. This command only works on irregular polygons, it has no effect on regular ones.

A closed polygon that was drawn clockwise has the line weight hanging on the inside of the polygon (the points are on the outside edge of the line.) If the same polygon is created in the reverse order (counter-clockwise) the lines hang on the outside (the points are on the inside edge of the line.) Reversing the polygon vertices order can result in very different polygons in terms of how it looks, especially when the polygon's sides have a thick stroke.
