Inserting irregular polygons

In addition to creating shapes using the SMART Notebook software Shapes tool, you can insert irregular polygons using the Irregular Polygons tool.

ClosedTo insert irregular polygons

  1. Display the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons (see Displaying the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons).

  2. Press Irregular PolygonsIrregular Polygons icon.

  3. Press where you want to place the shape’s first vertex.

    The first vertex appears as a small red circle.

  4. Press where you want to place the next vertex.

    A line appears between the two vertices.

  5. Repeat step 4 to add more vertices.

  6. Press the first vertex’s red circle to stop adding vertices and complete the shape.

    Note 

    After creating an irregular polygon, you can display its interior angles and display its side lengths (see Displaying interior angles and Displaying and editing side lengths).
