Convex filled polygons

[trogluddite]

Here's another regular polygon renderer

Excellent bit of lateral (or should that be radial?) thinking - just one line draw per vertex, I'd be very surprised if there's a faster way than that!

Depends on how expensive the Arc primitive is compared to two Line primitives; you could use it to draw two edges with one operation.

Well, here's all my basic shape primitives pulled together from several different topics.
All of them work with alpha color now through the use of a bitmap cache where required.
These will probably go unchanged in my next MissingLinks release.
