Element reference
Polygon
The Polygon element in IDML: where it appears (MasterSpreads), its 59 attributes, their values, and how real documents use them.
ProIIIreference
An arbitrary closed vector shape; may carry multiple GeometryPathType contours (compound paths). Polygon appears in 265 of the 305 documents surveyed (86.9%), most often in MasterSpreads. Paged reads 39 of its 59 attributes and writes 34.

Values are listed only where real documents use a small, closed set; the number after each is how many documents use it. “Seen in” is the share of documents containing Polygon that set the attribute.
Explained in
Counts come from a survey of 305 IDML documents (2026-10-11); only aggregate facts are published. Paged’s support is read from its importer and exporter source, and the typed properties from the engine catalog.
