You guys are missing the point here. This behavior is by design. The
documentation says that with polygon mode set to POLYGON_LINE, lines are
drawn between successive vertices. When you triangulate the polygon,
successive vertices aren't just the border.
If you want outlines of polygons, use a LineStripArray with a LineAttributes
object instead of a PolygonAttributes object. In my project I use a
LineStripArray to create a border around my filled polygons. You may have
to experiment with PolygonOffset to get the borders to look good.

The only way around this problem is to DIY. Don't use the utility
classes and create all of your own polygons.

"Look through the lens, and the light breaks down into many lights.
Turn it or move it, and a new set of arrangements appears... is it
a single light or many lights, lights that one must know how to
distinguish, recognise and appreciate? Is it one light with many
frames or one frame for many lights?" -Subcomandante Marcos
