No, a Patch is not automatically a Polygon. You could make a Patch out of
splines or Bezier curves, for example.

This might be a stupid question, but what is the difference between a
Polygon and Patch? A Polygon is subclassed from a Patch. The only real
substantial difference I see is that a Polygon object has logic flagging
and ensuring that it has a closed ring, but does that really merit a whole
new class
Thanks for that information. I am putting together a PR that corrects those
links and also makes a few other small documentation changes. Hopefully,
this will be the last change needed for v1.4.0!
Cheers!
