Polyline

Similar to polygon, but using the absolute value of the winding number instead of odd-even filling.

Syntax

 polyline { \(Px [,]\)\{3,n\} range { \(<low,high>\)\{1,m\} } OBJECT_MODIFIERS }

    n coplanars points Px 
    <low,high> specification of interval for winding number

Winding number

#declare D=<7,2,0>;
#declare E=<4.5,6,0>;
#declare F=<7,4,0>;
#declare G=<2,4,0>;
#declare H=<4,6,0>;
#declare I=<4,0,0>;
#declare J=<5,0,0>;
#declare K=<5,8,0>;
