This stack shows how to edit a polygon
graphic with diverse tools.

Notice, this is a Beta, so expect some
rough edges... ;)

The only tool that I want that you check
is ConvertPoint. It looks like this: /\
I think this is the shape of the convert
point tool of Adobe Ilustrator.

This tool lets you change the shape of
a line segment between 2 selected points
of a polygon graphic.

In fact, what you are doing is replacing
the points with the points of the
line that you just created.

To reshape a polygon graphic:
1- Select the Convert Shape tool ( /\ )
2- Click on the first point of the Polygon graphic. 

It's better if you have selected before
the polygon graphic and had checked the
button "Show Markers". In that way, the marker
points will be already visible...
Notice, if you checked the button "Audible
Feedback" (Beep) then you will hear a beep
ONLY if you clicked on a marker point of
the polygon graphic.

3- Click the second point of the polygon
and 2 GREEN dots, 2 RED dots (under the
green dots) and a line appears over the 
two points that you CLICKED before.

4- Move the green dots to reshape the bezier line
and when you are done... DOUBLECLICK one of the
green dots. Do not click the red dots or the
line, please. 

IMPORTANT: You can press the option key,
while doubleclicking to obtain another variation
of this adding or deleting of points. ;))

5- The Red Dots, Green dots and the line dissapear,
(go back to the left corner) and the segment
takes the shape of the line.

If any unexpected change occurs then click the
button UNDO. 

Notice, NO ERROR HANDLING. Any error or
deviation on this steps will produce errors 
without any doubts... :((

Comments and fixes are welcome, as always.

Later I'll comment over the other tools, but
you'll read the code and test your guessings
powers too!!! ;))

Thanks in advance.

Alejandro
