Example on how to create a simple GLPolygon.

# import all referenced modules

import GLPolygon
import VertexArray
import Vertex

# Get the currently open and in focus document
currentDoc = Editor.GetCurrentDocument()

# Create some vertices to use as the bounds of the GLPolygon
verts = VertexArray.VertexArray()

# Create the GLPolygon, passing in the vertices we just created
polygon = GLPolygon.GLPolygon(verts)
polygon.SetPolygonMode( polygon.POLY_MODE_FILLED )

# Add the new GLPolygon to our current Document
currentDoc.InsertObject( polygon )
