Polygon

A polygon is a plane figure formed by connecting a finite number of straight line segments end-to-end, where the first and last points meet to enclose a region.

Slot Mode: Scale To Fit

Scales each row or column so that it takes up the full available space along that scanline.

Parameter	Type	Descripton
Scanline Direction	Horizontal or Vertical	The direction the rows are generated within the polygon.
Set Row Count	On/Off	Allows the adjusting of row count within the polygon.
Row Count	Decimal	The number of rows within the polygon.
Start T	Decimal	How much of the polygon is filled starting from the top.
End T	Decimal	How much of the polygon is filled starting from the bottom

Slot Mode: Bounded Grid

A grid of evenly spaced lines or points that is restricted to a specific, finite area or region.

Parameter	Type	Descripton
Slot Density	Decimal	The amount of space between drones within the polygon.

Slot Mode: Poisson

A distribution method that provides pseudo-random placement at a specified density.

Parameter	Type	Description
Slot Density	Decimal	The amount of space between drones within the polygon.
Random Seeding	Decimal	Points are randomly generated to ensure variability.

Editing Polygons

When selecting a polygon, a toolbar will appear on the top of the scene view. This toolbar provides quick ways of manipulating polygons, editing geometry, and managing the anchor point. Buttons become enabled/disabled based on the current selection and state of the polygon.

Tools

Center Anchor

Automatically shift the polygon's centroid to be the average of all control points

Delete

Deletes the currently selected anchor point, segment, or spline

Edit

This button array provides a way to enter/exit polygon edit mode. Edit mode must be entered to modify polygon hull anchor points

Edit Mode (Exit Edit Mode)

Enter edit mode and allow geometry to be selected and manipulated. The button will toggle to an X when active and must be clicked again to exit edit mode.
