26	\brief A closed, many-sided figure which defines an area in a
27	       two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.
28
29	A BPolygon is defined as a set of BPoint objects, each BPoint represents
30	a vertex of the polygon. Unlike a BRect, a BPolygon can can have any number
31	of sides and the sides don't have to be aligned on coordinate axes.
32
33	BPolygon objects are most commonly used for drawing. BView::StrokePolygon()
34	and BView::FillPolygon() allow you to draw a polygon in a BView by taking a
35	BPolygon object as an argument.
