This is a good question, I realy don't know much on that, so anyone with some samples of drwaing polygons can share, I guess this is where to start.
from Garry
edit: Thanks for the sample of the polygon,...if you have any more feel free to add to this,...

Hi
This is the way I do the polygons.

CodeGuy showed me a cool formula to do it rather than use
my select case statements to set the degrees and angles etc.
I remmed out my select case so you can see how I was doing it.

Codeguys formula is in effect in this version. its  just below the select case statments.
There are several comments in the code showing what is happening.

Just a suggestion: On my computer I have made the sub polygon into a 'bi' file
so it doesnt have to be in a program for me. and  I can use it just like the basic circle
and line statements!
However if one was to share a prog that uses it this way  he/she would have to send
it along with the bi file which might be a pain for some.

Code:
'Polygons by Dustie Bear
'_______________________

SCREEN 12
DO WHILE s <> 1
   LOCATE 10, 28
   INPUT " Number of sides  "; s
   LOCATE 12, 28
   INPUT " Radius Length  "; ss
   LOCATE 14, 28
   INPUT " Line color  "; LC
   LOCATE 16, 28
   INPUT " Paint Color  "; PC
   CLS


   '-- Notice I have  x and y preset in the variable to send to the sub but you
   '-- can put vars there so that you main program can set the x,y where ever you want it

   Polygon 300, 200, ss, s, LC, PC, 1

   DO WHILE INKEY$ = "": LOOP
   COLOR 15, 0
   CLS 0
LOOP

SYSTEM

'---------- Polygon Sub ---------------------------
SUB Polygon (PosX AS INTEGER, PosY AS INTEGER, Rad AS INTEGER, NumSides AS INTEGER, LClr AS INTEGER, FClr AS INTEGER, PaintDo AS INTEGER)

'__________________________________________
'     PosX = 300  - - X Positon
'     PosY = 200  - - Y Postion
'     Rad = 150 - - - Radius
'     NumSides = 12 - How Many sides
'     LClr = 13 - - - Line Clolor
'     FClr = 2  - - - Fill Color
'     PaintDo = 1 - - Fill it with Color ? 1 = yes, anything else is no
' _________________________________________
'     Angles are set so that the base is laying flat on the bottom!
'     Rem them out it you want to set them from your main Program Them differantly
'__________________________________________


' ---- If no color enterd, at least make it so the polygon will show
IF LClr = 0 AND FClr = 0 THEN
   LClr = 15 ' white
   PaintDo = 0 ' Turn off the fill if its on - Fill is on only when PaintDo = 1
END IF

'   ---- Degrees at each line intersection
'   ---- Angle = angle at which the fist line starts from
'
'  ---- This is how I figured out how to do the degrees using Select case for the
'  ---- octygons. it only figures up to 13 sided polys, but more than that they just look like circles
'  ---- in lower res screens
'  ---   Below the SELECT CASE STATMENTS is the formula which Codeguy showed me 
' ----- which makes my SELECT CASE not needed.

'SELECT CASE NumSides
'  CASE 3
'     NumSides = 3: Degree = 120: angle = 30
'  CASE 4
'    NumSides = 4: Degree = 90: angle = 45
' CASE 5
'     Numside = 5: Degree = 72: angle = 54
'  CASE 6
'     NumSides = 6: Degree = 60: angle = 60
'  CASE 8
'    NumSides = 8: Degree = 45: angle = 22.5
'   CASE 9
'     NumSides = 9: Degree = 40: angle = 30
'  CASE 10
'    NumSides = 10: Degree = 36: angle = 36
'  CASE 11
'    NumSides = 11: Degree = 32.727272: angle = 8
'  CASE 12
'     NumSides = 12: Degree = 30: angle = 15
' CASE ELSE
'    PRINT "Sorry I only do  3 to 12 sided polygons";
'      SLEEP
'END SELECT

'**************  CodeGuy Showed me how to do the degrees with Math  ************************
'   ---- Degrees at each line intersection
'   ---- Angle = angle at which the first line starts from
Degree = 360 / NumSides
angle = (180 - Degree) / 2
'**************************************

' ------- Draw the Poly
FOR t = 1 TO NumSides + 1
   angle = angle + Degree
   RADIAN = angle / 57.2958
   x = COS(RADIAN) * Rad
   y = SIN(RADIAN) * Rad
   a = x + PosX: b = y + PosY
   IF t = 1 THEN DRAW "c=" + VARPTR$(LClr) + "BM=" + VARPTR$(a) + ",=" + VARPTR$(b)
   DRAW "M=" + VARPTR$(a) + ",=" + VARPTR$(b)
NEXT t

' ------ Fill the Poly with color
IF PaintDo = 1 THEN
   PAINT (PosX + 1, PosY), FClr, LClr
END IF

END SUB

Thanks Old Dos

Also that would be easier to keep track of instead of all sorts of BI files.

Oh and you just taught me something else, I didnt realize before this that you could put
more than one sub in a BI

Thanks
