Making a new filled symbol of > 4 vertices
For a java package to extend the IDV I wish to make a subclass of MetSymbol that draws a
symbol in the z=0 plane that is filled and has more than 4 vertices. The existing IDV
code shows how to make symbols of (unfilled) lines using VisADLineArray, and filled
symbols of of 3 and 4 vertices that using VisADTriangleArray and VisADQuadArray, and
specifing the normals to each edge. See for example ucar.visad.ShapeUtility.java. How
are filled symbols of N>4 vertices coded?
