We can use the polygon displayer displaying the cyan polygon as an example. We can create this displayer by using the following code:

IlvPolygonChartDisplayer* displayer = new IlvPolygonChartDisplayer(); displayer->setForeground(dpy->getColor("blue")); displayer->setBackground(dpy->getColor("cyan"));

Note By default, the polygon is outlined with the foreground color and filled with the background color of the defined palette. It will be displayed only with the outline if the Drawn Filled property is set to IlvFalse.
