Changing the properties of a polygon or star

There are two types of polygons: polygons and stars. A polygon is a closed shape that can have from 3 to 100 sides. A star is similar to a polygon, but instead of drawing lines from corner to corner around the outside of the shape, the corners are connected with lines drawn across the inside of the shape. You can control which corners are connected to which by adjusting the sharpness.

Polygons can also be star-shaped, but the lines from which they are made do not cross the inside of the shape. A star-shaped polygon is sometimes referred to as a "polygon as star."
