{70} *t Polygon
[
]
This Tag defines a polygonal text or picture box. The X and Y values of the individual polygon
points, separated by a semi-colon, appear between the square brackets. Bezier curves from are
not supported.
The smallest polygon defines a triangle; it consists of a start point, two further points and an
end point. The end point must be specified separately and must be the same as the start point
polygons are always closed. The smallest polygon therefore contains four points that are
defined by eight values. The details are given in pt.
A text polygon is defined by *T3, a picture polygon by *T12.
Other values for *T are not allowed with polygons.
¶*T3*x100*y100*X200*Y200*t[100;100;200;100;150;200;100;100]*$Text¶
creates a triangle as a text box. With *x100*y100*X200*Y200 the surrounding rectangle of the
polygon is defined. The polygon must fit into the surrounding rectangle exactly.
The eight anchor points of a polygon lie exactly on the surrounding rectangle.

Z1*K0.8*k0.8*$:MyPicture¶
creates a pentagon, loads the picture MyPicture from the QuarkXPress folder, scales it to
80% and places it in the centre of the box, left picture.
