# drawXPolygon

*Command · GUI Control - Map · Arma 3 v2.20*

## Description

Draws an N sided polygon on the map.

## Syntax

```sqf
map drawXPolygon [n, centre, a, b, angle, color, fill, alignWithMap]
```

**Parameters:**

- `map`: [Control](../topics/Control.md)
- `n`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - number of sides 3..720
- `centre`: [Object](../topics/Object.md) or [Position2D](../topics/Position.md#introduction), [Position3D](../topics/Position.md#introduction) - ellipse's centre
- `a`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - horizontal (x) radius
- `b`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - vertical (y) radius
- `angle`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - angle of rotation in degrees
- `color`: [Color (RGBA)](../topics/Color.md) - line color
- `fill`: [String](../topics/String.md) - fill texture file or Procedural Textures. Note that the file texture will not rotate with polygon, use [drawIcon](../commands/drawIcon.md) for that. If fill texture is not empty, set line color to white [1,1,1,1]
- `alignWithMap`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - (Optional, default [true](../commands/true.md)) - when [false](../commands/false.md) the shape will not follow map rotation.

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", 
{
    _this select 0 drawXPolygon [
        5, player, 50, 10, 0, [1, 0, 0, 1], ""
    ];
    _this select 0 drawXPolygon [
        3, player, 10, 50, 0, [1, 1, 1, 1], "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0.6,0,1)"
    ];
    _this select 0 drawXPolygon [
        12, player, 10, 10, 90, [0, 0, 1, 1], ""
    ];
}];
```
