Polygons
Polygons are created by defining the positions of the corners, specifying a number of data points
that represent the vertices of the object, which can range from a simple line (two points), or a
triangle (three points), to any free-form outline. Polygons may be filled with a variety of
different patterns. All row/column specifiers are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10
depending on the printer mode, (see <STX>m).

will be drawn. See Label Formatting Command A.
