The Closed Polygon drawing tool draws a solid colored
closed polygon on top of an area of the image. The polygon can be
filled with a color or transparent. The following examples show a
closed polygon drawn on an image. The first example shows a transparent
fill color. The second example shows the line and fill color the same.
The third example shows the toolbar and resize controls for the annotation.


The closed polygon annotation is not available
for images stored in an Image Services library.
