Menu: Extra Tools --> Lines to polygon, Extra Tools --> Break polygon,

This tool generates arbitrary polygon objects shapes that can be filled and can have an outline.

This tool operates only on lines - All lines within the selection will be considered for smoothing and there must be one side missing i.e. the lines must not describe a closed ploygon.


The tool converts the lines to a polygon object using the current lines :


The circles are control points that can be moved using the mouse to change the final shape.  Note that the outer box is removed so that the control points can be seen easily.  In the diagram below one of the control has been moved to change the shape of the polygon.   Reselecting the polygon will re-display the outer box.


Break polygon reverses the operation.
