Example

Create_polygon_poly

//Create a polygon graphic with simple line and fill styles.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry

  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.7));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 6.1));
  //At 2.x - Polygon poly = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);
