The Type drop-down menu lets you choose what type of polygon to create. The controls
immediately under this drop-down menu change depending on what type of polygon
is selected.
Regular polygons: Lets you specify how many sides the polygon has.
Stars: In addition to specifying how many sides the polygon has, you can specify the
radius of the space inside the spikes and superimpose a secondary star at a different
size.
Polygrams: Similar to Stars, but instead of specifying a radius, you can control the
way the sides line up with each other with the Point Skip field.
Spirograms: Similar to Polygrams, but creates only an outline.
Random polygons: Lets you create polygons with randomized sides
Golden rectangle: Lets you create a polygon with the golden ratio (approximately
1:1.618).
