Making polygons

[sgthale]

I looked at the Tutorial - Graphics - Drawing simple shapes to make filled polygons but i need it to support concave shapes so i can fill use it in my dynamic light engine. If not, how can you split the concave into convex shapes?

You mean something like this tutorial?

woops i just updated my post. How can i split a concave to convex so i can use that?

There's nothing built-in to handle that.  You'll have to split your shape up into triangles, rectangles, and other non-concave shapes and combine them together on your own.  

For instance, you can make a star by drawing a triangle on each side of a pentagon.

You could search for "ear-clipping" or "Delaunay triangulation". Especially if you choose the second algorithm, do not implement it at your own. It takes too long.
