Arcade inbuilt functions to draw polygon in Python3

Last Updated : 11 Oct, 2020

The arcade library is a high-tech Python Package with advanced set of tools for making 2D games with gripping graphics and sound. It is Object-oriented and is especially built for Python 3.6 and above versions.

Arcade has two inbuilt functions for drawing a polygon:

1. arcade.draw_polygon_outline( ) : This function is used to draw the outline of the polygon.

Syntax: arcade.draw_polygon_outline (point_list, color, line_width )

Parameters:

point_list: List of points making up the lines. Each point is in a list. So it is a list of lists.

color (Color): specify color using arcade.color.COLOR NAME. (Note that color name should in Capital letters.)

line_width:- Width of the line in pixels.

Example:

Python3

import arcade 
  
# Open the window. Set the window title and dimensions (width and height) 
arcade.open_window(600, 600, "Draw  a polygon for GfG ") 
  
arcade.set_background_color(arcade.color.ORANGE) 
  
# Start the render process. 
arcade.start_render() 
  
point_list = ((30, 240), 
              (45, 240), 
              (60, 255), 
              (60, 285), 
              (45, 300), 
              (30, 300)) 
arcade.draw_polygon_outline(point_list, arcade.color.SPANISH_VIOLET, 3) 
  
arcade.finish_render() 
  
arcade.run()

Output:

2. arcade.draw_polygon_filled( ): This inbuilt function of arcade is used to draw polygon filled with color.

Syntax: arcade.draw_polygon_filled (point_list, color )

Parameters:

point_list- It is basically List of points where each point is in a list. So it is a list of lists.

Color – specify color using arcade.color.COLOR NAME. (Note that color name should in Capital letters. )

Example:

Python3

import arcade 
  
# Open the window. Set the window title and dimensions (width and height) 
arcade.open_window(600, 600, "Draw  a polygon for GfG ") 
  
arcade.set_background_color(arcade.color.ORANGE) 
  
# Start the render process. 
arcade.start_render() 
  
point_list = ((150, 240), 
              (165, 240), 
              (180, 255), 
              (180, 285), 
              (165, 300), 
              (150, 300)) 
arcade.draw_polygon_filled(point_list, arcade.color.SPANISH_VIOLET) 
  
arcade.finish_render() 
  
arcade.run()
