This Specification Macro Task will draw a polygon in a new image.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Changes the Title (not the name) of the Task. |
| Destination | The Full File Path and Name of the image file to create, including its extension. |
| Constant Name | The name of the Constant used to report on the success of the Task. If it is a success this will be used to store the Path of the generated image. |
| Overwrite | TRUE to overwrite an existing image, FALSE to keep the existing image. |
| Line Weight | The thickness of the line(s) in pixels. |
| Width | The new width of the image in pixels. |
| Height | The new height of the image in pixels. |
| Color | The RGB or hex color value for a colored line or blank to be made transparent. |
| The Points Of The Line(s) | A table of X and Y points through which the lines will be drawn. |
| Close Sketch | TRUE to draw a line between the last and first points. FALSE to leave open. |
| Texture File | Texture file used to infill the lines (Sketch must be closed to apply). |
| Line Style | 'Dashes' or 'Dots'. Use any other value, including leaving blank for a solid line. |
| Background Texture File | The name of the background texture file. If blank, the background will be transparent. |
| Points Data Has Headers | TRUE to ignore the first data row, FALSE to include. |
The points that are used to make up the polygon need to be given to the task as a Table Array. This should be formatted like the example below.
| X | Y |
|---|---|
| 300 | 200 |
| 300 | 400 |
| 500 | 400 |
| 500 | 200 |
When this Task is added the properties are static. To be able to build rules on a static properties see How To: Change A Static Property To A Dynamic Property.

|---|---|---|---|
| Destination | FsGetFullPath("<Specification>\PolygonAddedWorldGraphic.png") | C:\MyDocuments\Projects\Specifications\Spec 9999\PolygonAddedWorldGraphic.png | This is the location where the new file will be created. |
| Constant Name | "DWConstantReport" | DWConstantReport | This is the name of the Constant that the Task will report to. |
| Overwrite | TRUE | TRUE | TRUE will overwrite the file if it exists FALSE will not. |
| Line Weight | 3 | 3 | This is the line weight the Task will use. |
| Width | 600 | 600 | This is the width of the new image that will be created. |
| Height | 450 | 450 | This is the height of the new image that will be created. |
| Color | "#000cf9" | #000cf9 | This Hex value or RGB value denotes which color will be used for the lines drawn. Blank would draw transparent lines. |
| The Points Of The Line(s) | DwLookupPointsOnALine | DwLookupPointsOnALine | This is a Simple Table containing the X and Y coordinates measured in pixels for the different points to create the lines. An example of the Table can be seen above. |
| Close Sketch | TRUE | TRUE | This will put a final line from the last point given to the first point to create a complete polygon. |
| Texture File | "C:\MyDocuments\Content\WhiteBlank.PNG" | C:\MyDocuments\Content\WhiteBlank.PNG | This is the file to use as the background if the lines are closed into a polygon. Leaving this blank will make the fill transparent so the background will be shown. |
| Line Style | "Dots" | Dots | This will give a dotted line. For a dashed line type "Dashed". For a Solid line leave blank. |
| Background Texture File | "C:\MyDocuments\Content\Images\MyPicture.png" | C:\MyDocuments\Content\Images\MyPicture.png | This is the file that will be used to create the background of the new image. |
| Points Data Has Headers | TRUE | TRUE | TRUE will ignore the Headers in your Points Of The Line(s) Table. Use FALSE for Tables with no headers. |
