Example

This example shows how you can use a polygon to illustrate the level of the contents of a tank. This is a convenient alternative to the standard display type, bar display, which can only take a rectangular shape. For non-square tanks you may want to use polygons which you can shape exactly as you want. You can then link the current value to the filling of the polygon, thus matching the level of the tank contents.
