<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
  The polygon is closed automatically by drawing a line from the last vertex to the first. 
</p>
<p>
  <b>Windows 95/98/Me</b>: PaintPolygon cannot draw more than a certain number of points.
  The limit depends on the line width (that is, the width of the pen selected into the DC)
<p><b>Line width</b>                                                 <b>Maximum points allowed</b>
line width is 1                                                   16K
line width &gt; 1 (that is, wideline) and device supports wideline   16K
line width &gt; 1 but device does not support wideline               approximately 1360 (that is, approximately 16K/12)</p>

<p>
  Any extra points are ignored. To draw a line with more points, divide the data into groups
  that have less than the maximum number of points and call the function for each group of points.
  Remember to connect the line segments.
